FOV-calculator for curved monitors.xlsx

	A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H	I	K	L	N	O
1	diagonal screen size		d [inches]	49		NOTE:	ONLY CHANGE VALUES IN THE GREEN BOXES! Download sheet to edit
2	aspect ratio		r [-]	32		NOTE:	This calculator compares the FOV for a single flat monitor and curved monitor of same size.
3	aspect ratio		r [-]	9
4	Curvature		R [mm]	1000		NOTE:	This calculator assumes that the diagonal of a curved monitor is measurend ALONG the curve.
5							To ensure that this is correct, you can measure the "straight width" of the visible screen area and compare with the calculated "straight width"
6	min. view distance		s_min [mm]	560
7	max. view distance		s_max [mm]	562		NOTE:	As game developers compensate for FOV, they assume a flat monitor. So even though a larger FOV is obtainable with a curved monitor
8							some drawbacks happen. As the aspect-ratio goes higher and the curvature becomes tigher, some distortion WILL occur which messes with immersion
9							For very high aspect ratios, it is recommended to set it up as a triple monitor in-game, to eliminate some of the distortions.
