Description
There was a previous issue #1302 that was solved by implementing the switch --fs-black-out-screens, but this only works with OSX.
It seems that the solution is using a method that is exclusively supported by OSX. I propose to implement a platform neutral way to bring this feature to other operating systems, because it seems very useful. The solution could be that on entering full screen on a display, mpv would put fullscreen black window dummies on all other screens and close them on exiting full screen again.

Research direction
Start by reading issue #1302 and the existing --fs-black-out-screens implementation, then inspect how fullscreen behavior differs across platforms. Done means entering fullscreen creates black windows on other displays on supported operating systems and removes them when fullscreen ends.
