    Because the first FOV calculator gives you both, horizontal and vertical FOV. I think you’ve looked at the vertical FOV instead of the horizontal FOV. Horizontal is the same as the other FOV calculator.

    Which online FOV calculator is correct? I assume the 75 degrees is correct for horizontal POV, as AMS2 only goes down to 35 degrees at its lowest setting....

    That one under you're using inch instead of cm for your distance to screen. Goodmorning :D

    I am using a 15.6-inch notebook and it is 1 meter from my eyes, so I cannot use the FOV calculator to calculate a suitable value like other people who use large screens.
    My current setting is 78, which is exactly the same as the default setting for iracing. If I use a large screen in the future, I will definitely calculate the FOV, which can make the steering wheel in the game coincide with my actual steering wheel. Now, I can only use it as a FOV with the same suitable field of view, with the distance between my eyes and the screen of 0 cm

    Im using a 49 inch (32:9)
    my eyes are around 58cm from the screen. Mathematically it should be FOV of 92, but i found bumping it up ever so slightly to 94 seems more natural.

    It is a slightly curved monitor - so that i beleive is part of that reason also.
