Sim Racing. The bigger the FOV, the better.

You obviously don’t **need** it, but that can be said about a lot of PC/gaming stuff.

Avid simracer here. The horizontal FOV is great, but the vertical FOV is nonexistent. I'd willingly trade a fair chunk of the horizontal FOV for some vertical FOV.

Horizontal FOV is great up to a point, but realistically after a 180 degrees any extra isn't really that useful unless you're constantly turning your head (so maybe useful for a truck/flight sim?). However the extra vertical FOV, whilst not useful for actually racing, adds a lot of immersion.
