Neither, it is the maximum size of the image MPlayer can send to the
graphics card.
This normally is whatever the video is encoded it.
If your PC is really fast you might be able to work around the
limitation by inserting -vf scale to scale it down to a smaller size
that the card can handle.
Or try -vo x11 or even -vo x11 -zoom.
Any of these are workarounds though and unlikely to work well.
