fov aka field of view is the same. However, with a bigger screen, you see things bigger. So for example, if you use cg_fov 90 for a small screen, you can use cg_fov 105 for a bigger screen, and you see everything at the same size.
Basically: fov = amount of space you see (from side to side); screen = how big you see things.
not at all LOl... it's different aspect ratio. ET engine doesn't scale the models so you need to fix it with a fov trick (higher fov.. needs to be previously calculated... check Koshito link )
first off, use native (generally highest) available resolution.
and fov will feel different, you have gone from 4:3 to 16:10/16:9 - no matter what fov you use it will feel different. So just go with the same values you have on the toggles and get use to it. :)
I always thought that when you went from 4:3 -> 16:9/10 you just added 10 to your fov. Why don't you just set the monitor up to change to 4:3 when you open up ET (or load any game) I like it at least! No need for fucking around with your fov values then!
Or you could just get used to them feeling different like Merl said!
EDIT: think i've read somewhere on this site you need to change your fov to somewhat get the same

It feels really weird and hard to aim, trying fov 100 instead of 90 atm, but still :D
Perhaps raise sens?
22" 1024x768 100 fov
here
22" 1680x1050 120fov
np
ok?bb
Now I got 100 indeed, was getting 150 before :)

Besides if I try something like that I get massive black bars, looks pretty weird
