FoV is Field of View, a term that refers to the horizontal angle of view displayed on the player's screen. In other words, it is the area that the player can see on the screen while playing.
The value of FoV affects how the game is displayed on the player's monitor or screen. A higher FoV value equals a wider angle of view, allowing more of the image to be seen on the screen. Reducing FoV decreases the viewing area, and the player will see less of the image on the screen, but objects may appear larger and closer.
Changing FoV can impact gameplay and the visual experience (and immersion in general) of the player. A wider FoV helps improve the perception of the environment, which can be beneficial in shooters and games with large open worlds. However, an excessively large FoV can lead to distortion of the image at the edges of the screen.
In most video games, players can adjust the FoV value in the game settings to tailor it to their preferences and needs. Choosing the optimal FoV can enhance gaming comfort, contribute to better perception of dynamic situations, and make gameplay more convenient for the player.
More advanced players choose specialized larger monitors that allow maximizing FoV (this can provide an advantage in the game).
