I just recently purchased bf4 for PC and discovered this FOV option. What is the optimal setting for this? Is it mainly preference? ---

Mainly personal preference. The “correct” value depends on your monitor size and how far you sit from your monitor. 30", 2560x1600, about 1.5 feet from my screen, I use 95. ---

i use 90 because i find myself shooting a long distance most of the time anyway. ---

I have a 24" monitor that I’m pretty sure is running 16:9…should I try 90? ---

Sounds about right. In general, PC favors around an 85-95 FoV. ---

Haha, it’s on purpose. It makes games feel movie-like because of how big the screen is. Although I just measured more precisely, and it’s more like 2 feet from my actual eyes, 1.5 from the edge of my desk. ---

I’ve got a 32inch 3 feet away, Everything is so immerse and crystal clear and have mine at around 100 I think, I’m tempted to make it much smaller though because the bigger your FOV the more zoomed out everything is.. It would really help with aiming but I think there is a greater advantage in peripheral vision
