Exactly that--I narrow the fov down to 70 degrees or so.

Yes and no.  Yes, if the monitor covered your entire field of
vision.  No, if you consider the area of your fov subtended by the
screen.

I think that multiple monitors and a cylindrical projection would be
very cool--I've played some flight sims that way.  But this is
increasing fov coverage, which is a little different than increasing
the fov of a single screen.
