Solve for result in degrees. Remember, no binocular vision with one eye

And in case you object about being able to see to infinity, lets say the monitor has a Fresnel lens in front of it (look it up if you dont know what the result of that is)

No, its not irrelevant. two eyed vision does make it easier to spot movement at distance (and yes, there have threads on bi-ocular vision being introduced come up before)

same result as your previous picture

monitors don't have Fresnel lenses though, as standard, and as far seeing to infinity goes... yes the eye can see a fair way out but detail of objects aren't seen to infinity and those which are on their way there, in moving away, slowly fade to grey.


*EDIT (for your late entry

IF I sit at the window, I see up to 180 degrees... but a monitor isn't a real world window, where how much can seen is determined by how near or distant the person looking out it is and if I have a big big window, I can see much much more without having to be so close, such is the real world. Unfortunately though, a monitor won't display these qualities. Why? because it is no more than a projection surface
