More Detail...

The abbreviation FOV is generally defined as "Field Of View" or "Field Of Vision." It is the observable area a person can see through his or her eyes or via an optical device, such as binoculars or a telescope. In gaming, FOV is a measure of how much of the game world is visible to a player on the screen. A greater FOV allows for more peripheral vision, but usually has a detrimental effect on definition and can cause distortion if set too wide. For example:

• Ali: What's the best FOV for this level?
• Ray: Stick with the default.
