Sorry Jonathan I am getting even myself confused  I stopped using the VH because it was only available on the LCD and not in the viewfinder. It's when I hand hold that I have a slant. I added the Grid screen to My Menu and switch that on in the viewfinder when I need to get horizontals horizontal. I still have the VH on My Menu but rarely use the rear screen, so it could come off. I have assigned My Menu to Fn2

Thanks Eric. It is always interesting to get an alternative view on how people set up the camera. I might use fn2 as My Menu as well. I hadnt thought about using that.

You can program the fN button to switch on a VH indicator in the viewfinder - it appears like an exposure meter in place of the data in the bottom of the viewfinder - not as obvious as the display line, but usable.

I thought I remembered seeing this but I didnt check on my D850. Is this how it works on D600?.

I have it on my D600 as well. The D600 is essentially the same as a D610. The way that the D600/D610 implements the Virtual Horizon is quite simple and very effective. The D850 has a similar system but it is overlaid into the viewfinder over he image area in black. I wish this could be a different colour as black on black doesnt show so well. I spent a while and reconfigured some of my D850 fn buttons and menu items. I have customised so that fn1 is the on/off switch for the Virtual Horizon. I find that I use the fn2 occasionally but I use that for WB so I can change that rapidly.

Sorry...how do you get the VH in the viewfinder on the D850? Ok just noticed it's an option on Fn1 ...which I have assigned to 9 point focusing for bird photography, so not an option for me.

Add it to Fn1 button then push Fn1 to switch on and again to switch off. It is not like the display on the back TFT screen. The display is a series of black bars on base of image area and at right side of the screen. There is no facility to change the colour from black to red/yellow/white which would be useful. They call it Roll and Pitch in the manual. Items 1 & 5 in attached image.  Click here to comment on this image.
