I think I've solved it on my setup. If I go to Setup->Appearance on the
second screen (where you'd adjust the gui size) there's a Monitor Aspect
Ratio option. I've also set the GUI width/height to be 0 and unticked use
GUI size for TV Playback. It works now!

The problem is, I'd quite like a command line version of this, so I could
choose which monitor to use with the command line.

Any ideas?
