  2. Field of view in video games - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_of_view_in_video_games

    Console games are usually played on a TV at a large distance from the viewer, while PC games are usually played on computer monitors close to the viewer. Therefore, a narrow FOV of around 60 degrees is used for console games as the screen subtends a small part of the viewer's visual field, and a larger FOV of 90 to 100 degrees is usually set ...

  3. Angular diameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_diameter

    Angular diameter: the angle subtended by an object. The angular diameter, angular size, apparent diameter, or apparent size is an angular separation (in units of angle) describing how large a sphere or circle appears from a given point of view. In the vision sciences, it is called the visual angle, and in optics, it is the angular aperture (of ...

  4. Viewing angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viewing_angle

    With LCD screens, some manufacturers have opted to measure the contrast ratio and report the viewing angle as the angle where the contrast ratio exceeds 5:1 or 10:1, giving minimally acceptable viewing conditions. The viewing angle is measured from one direction to the opposite, giving a maximum of 180° for a flat, one-sided screen.

  5. Viewing cone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viewing_cone

    The viewing cone refers to the effective viewing directions of an LCD display, as seen from the eye. This collection of angles resembles a cone. The concept has been introduced as an international standard ISO 13406-2, which defines it as the range of viewing directions that can safely be used for the intended task without "reduced visual performance".

    In the opinion of THX, the location where the display is viewed at a 40-degree view angle provides the most "immersive cinematic experience", [26] all else being equal. For consumer application of their recommendations, THX recommends dividing the diagonal screen measurement by .84 to calculate the optimum viewing distance, for a 1080p ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_angle

    Visual angle is the angle a viewed object subtends at the eye, usually stated in degrees of arc. It also is called the object's angular size . The diagram on the right shows an observer's eye looking at a frontal extent (the vertical arrow) that has a linear size S {\displaystyle S} , located in the distance D {\displaystyle D} from point O ...
