Which one is right between "large field of view" and "high field of view"?

Probably "wide field of view". If the view is indeed wide.– Hot LicksNov 12, 2015 at 9:25

@grizzly raises the point that there are two different meanings of "field of view". One is simply the view that one can see, say, standing atop a mountain, while the other is a technical term used in computer gaming and related technologies.– Hot LicksNov 12, 2015 at 12:37

I automatically assumed this was related to gaming since I enjoy playing games so much.– GrizzlyNov 12, 2015 at 23:12

As others have suggested, "wide field of view" is the commonest collocation. "Large field of view" is also possible. "High field of view" is not even on the map:
According to the CORPUS OF CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN ENGLISH, "wide field of view" is roughly five times more frequent than "large field of view" (the screenshot list top adjectives preceding "field of view"):
Large field of view. Wider field of view.
High field of view I have never heard.
