FOV formula

Field of view is calculated from the visible screen dimension and the distance from your eyes to the display.

FOV = 2 × atan(screen size ÷ 2 distance)
Calculation assumptions

The calculator assumes a flat rectangular display, a centered viewing position, and a straight eye-to-screen measurement. In-game camera scaling and title-specific FOV conventions may differ.

Frequently asked questions
What is field of view?

Field of view is the angular extent of the scene visible at one time, measured in degrees.

Should games use horizontal or vertical FOV?

Some games use horizontal FOV while others use vertical FOV. Always check the game setting before entering a value.

Does sitting closer increase FOV?

Yes. Moving closer makes the display occupy a larger angle in your vision, increasing the geometric FOV.
