could someone explain a "5° angle of view"?

A common lens of about 50 mm of focal lenght, cover a landscape of around 50º over all surface of the sensor. But a teleobjective of 500 mm cover an angle 10 times minor. That's to say one can see a very far object of 5º extension over all the surface of the same sensor. That is the magnification.

Don't waste your time - pay a little more and get a Sigma 150mm - 502 mm Lens...

To scan the full horizon, you have to rotate a full circle, or 360 degrees. This lens looks at 5 degrees (up/down, left/right), so you would need to set up 72 of them, side-to-side, in a circle, to see that full horizon. In effect, it's a bit like looking through a soda straw...you need to have it pretty well pointed where you want to look, rather than using it to search.

Hi, its very adjustable. You can rotate it 360° and tilt any direction for optimal viewing.

Its quite a wide angle..not sure what degree. But if u want to use this at night. Get one with more inferred

Its a mild wide angle. If that makes sense. Its enough to capture a wide angle without looking like an xgames fisheye.

While we don't have to view this television at an angle (it's in the kitchen, right next to our counter eating area), I did a side view trial just to see how the picture presented itself. While there is some loss of clarity at extreme angles, it's no worse (& maybe better) than other sets that I've seen. You'd really have to be at an extreme angle to be unhappy with an otherwise excellent picture.

Here is another angle: http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o87/heyjowee/IMAG0170-1.jpg

It has two slightly different viewing angles. I use it to watch videos while at work on my Galaxy S5 phone . Works perfectly for that use.

No problem with off-angle viewing up to 30 degrees from center. Unless you are a perfectionist, it won't make any significant difference.

Any angle is fine. Shame, though, you won't be viewing it straight ahead, eye level...

Like any LCD screen, there is diminishing brightness as your viewing angle increases. However, the manufacturer claims 170-degree horizontal and vertical viewing angles. That's sufficiently wide for the type of application you describe, in my opinion. I use the monitor as a second screen for my laptop, and find it to be very good quality for the price.

I think the standard view is approximately 45-55 degrees - at least on most of my older cameras. I just did a rough measurement of this field of view and it seems to be about 90 degrees.

The display window is curved at about a 25 degree angle for ea\asy reading.

At 10x you will see an apparent field of view of 40 degrees.At 25x, the maximum, you will see an apparent field of view of 50 degrees, which is the same as the Carson 7x18.At 10x, I can see the full 40 degrees with my glasses on.At 25x, I can only see 40 degrees of the 50. I can comfortably see the full 50 without my glasses on.

The angled view piece is good for activities like birdwatching, where the thing you're looking at may be high or low. It's probably less useful for target shooting, where the thing stays put. Say I'm looking at a duck on the lake, then tilt the scope up to look at a warbler in a tree. If the view piece is straight, I have to half-crouch to get my eye down to the view piece. Or I adjust the tripod height, after which the warbler is long gone. If the piece is angled, I just rotate the scope to get the view piece to a comfortable height. Also good for sharing: my husband spots something, says "look at this," and rotates the scope down to my eye level without moving the field of view.

I would rate the viewing angle...or the ability to view the numbers clearly from multiple angles as good, but not great. This is not helped by the fact that the screen is bordered by a flange-like edge that leaves it recessed cutting off light. That said I have been happy with the unit.

Looking at photos (I don't own them) is says FOV is 5.6 degrees at 1000 yds.

Mike, my best guess estimate is that you can get about a 20-30 degree angle with the combination of the natural assembly and the adjustment of the monitor mount. Once the three monitors are mounted and adjusted to touch end to end, it is a comfortable position to look at each of the three monitors from your chair in front of the middle monitor. I have my setup where I have a TV in the left position and a 2 monitor set-up to my computer, center and right. This way I can have two applications running at the same time and use my mouse to switch between the two applications, or I can use both monitors for a large spreadsheet or other application (both my computer monitors are 22inch wide screen ones.) I am very happy with my setup. PAul
