Resolution Note (2021.1.X):
This behavior has been around for quite a long time and won't be fixed at this time.
To have a full screen on the secondary display(s), you must use the native monitor resolution. If you specify a smaller display size when Activating the secondary display, you'll get a "cut out" window effect. The Screen APIs for setting the display mode, e.g. Screen.fullScreen or Screen.SetResolution, only apply to the primary display.
To ensure the secondary display(s) run as full screen windows, call Display.Active() with no parameters, this will default to the monitor's native resolution and refresh rate.
// Activate primary display in low res and secondary display with native res
Screen.SetResolution(640, 480, true);
Display.displays[0].Activate();
Display.displays[1].Activate();
