This is generally called Hor+ because and is considered good because the current trend has been toward wider screens. If a game's FOV is locked/defined on the vertical axis, it means that going from 4:3 to 16:9 to 21:9 you'll get the same vertical FOV on each, and gain more horizontal FOV as the screen gets wider. Saying that it's 'locked' on a dimension really means that it's defined on that dimension. It's not locked when adjusting FOV, it's locked when changing aspect ratio. The 'locking' of FOV on one dimension doesn't mean that when you adjust the slider you only get a change in one dimension. That's really a non-issue if the FOV values are big enough to begin with, tbh. Do you want developers to make the arbitrary change of separating FOV sliders by aspect ratio and making the max setting for each aspect ratio expose the same % area of the game so that none of them are favoured over the other? As in, maxed 21:9 would expose more on sides but lose some on the vertical as compared to 16:9, with the net area being the same.

I would appreciate all games have these options and to much higher values but it definitely is an exaggeration to say FOV support is lacking on PC games in general.ДЄnd if you mean the second 'problem' how exactly do you fix it? The reverse case is when 16:9 exposes more on the top/bottom which is what some games like Overwatch do. Like every game I've played recently where FOV is applicable, the game has it.some games like Overwatch have lower limits due to 'competitive' reasons, yeah, which can be annoying. FOV sliders just zoom out and expose more of the screen under the same aspect ratio. the vertical? Or one aspect ratio exposing more on the sides like 21:9 over 16:9 under the same FOV setting? Without locking one dimension: as in horizontal vs.

They have to be fixed to a set aspect and this is always going to be 16:9, unless TV viewers adopt a new standard ratio (highly unlikely, TV buyers have already rejected 21:9). Although like I said earlier, this would work for non 'artistic' scenarios (driving a car, first-person shooting etc.) For 'artistic' scenes, cutscenes etc. In an ideal world, you'd enter your screen size and seating distance into the game and it would give you the correct FoV, with the ability to tweak it on preference. Even if FoV is expandable, it's locked in one direction so increasing it just makes everything distorted/fish-eye'd. If you sit at a desk with a large 16:9 display, you will want a FoV much larger than someone sat some distance from a 16:9 TV, but currently, quite often you have to buy a new 21:9 monitor to get that larger FoV because they're assuming 21:9 = desk gamer, 16:9 = TV viewer.

The problem is, developers are making assumptions on what FoV you get based on the ratio of your display and not the physical size, which is wrong. FoV expands in both directions to suit display size/distance.Д¬lick to expand.There is a mathematically correct FoV that can be calculated based on your screen's dimensions and the distance you sit from it (there are various calculators on the net) It is somewhat subjective though, people often like to run a slightly higher FoV than what is considered 'correct'.

This is 'proper' FoV support (image courtesy of Paragon).

TLDR Getting a larger FoV suitable for desk play is a software problem and does not require wider aspect monitors. Ask for proper, fully adjustable FoV and you can enjoy a more suitable FoV on *any* ratio (although you can't expect game designers to frame their cutscenes for multiple aspects, they're always going to be 16:9) Locking one side's FoV and expanding the other is stupid and is always going to screw someone over. Please stop asking developers for '21:9 support'.

Pray that each game gives you a larger FoV/complain on the Internet when it doesn't. Buy an overpriced 21:9 display, deal with all manner of screwy implementations/black bars on 16:9 cutscenes etc. Run a 21:9 ratio on a 16:9 display, get a more suitable FoV but lose a bunch of screen real-estate Дў. Use a 16:9 display, suffer low TV/console FoVsДў. 21:9 display manufacturers must be laughing all the way to the bank.ДЎ. This has resulted in the absolutely ridiculous scenario we're in now where if you want a larger FoV that better suits desk play, you have to buy an overpriced 21:9 monitor.

Instead of allowing full FoV adjustment, developers are generally locking the FoV for one direction and expanding the FoV in the other based on the aspect ratio of your screen. This results in a FoV that's too low for close up, desk play. Games are made for consoles first, 16:9 with a FoV that suits a TV at distance. If you play PC games sat at a desk, you are almost certainly getting a sub-par experience because of how developers are handling FoV.
