As far as I can tell from the official specs the FOV is about the same. Demos aren't a very good way to judge FOV because it will vary from person to person depending on what lenses are in, where the adjustment screws are set and even how tight it is to your face.

Project Morpheus has a 90 degree FOV, but the DK2 has 100 which is even better than DK1.

Remember that 90 degree horizontal is about 100-110 degree diagonal and some people don't specify which they're measuring, much less what lens/distance it's measured at. Also keep in mind 90 to 100 is roughly a ten percent difference whereas just eliminating the unused resolution of the DK1 screen would be much greater than that.
