In this paper a new and different neural network, called Zhang Neural Network (ZNN) is appropriated from discrete time-varying matrix problems and applied to the angle parameter-varying matrix field of values (FoV) problem. This problem acts as a test bed for newly discovered convergent 1-step ahead finite difference formulas of high truncation orders. The ZNN method that uses a look-ahead finite difference scheme of error order 6 gives us 15+ accurate digits of the FoV boundary in record time when applied to hermitean matrix flows $A(t)$.
