a monitor coefficient above 178%

[philheath]

im kinda liking a monitor distance above 178% atm, if 178% is the edge of the screen, is going beyond that matching to a distance not on the visible screen? or its like still 178% but with an extra multiplier on top?

No, the calculation is nothing to do with the screen really, the same scaling applies to the FOV regardless.

The fact you're at 178% should be a first clue - you're already +78% over the top of the monitor. Just as the match point can be outside the edge of one side of your monitor, it can be outside the edge of both.

but isnt that 100% horizontal distance in the above image and not 100% vertical distance

It's a 16:9 display; so 178% is the vertical, 100% is the horizontal

Another way to look at this, is if you are at 100% horizontal monitor distance for 16:9 screen, but then swap your screen to a 4:3 one, then the match point is now outside the edge of both screen axes, but the sensitivity does not change because of this.

damn, i always thought they were just the same all this time  , but like interchangeable names, thanks for clarifying this lol
