Spectaculator 9 for Windows is now available for download!

Posted on by

I’m excited to announce that Spectaculator 9 is now available for Windows. It’s been a long time coming but worth the wait!

Updated for modern hardware and Windows

Spectaculator now supports high DPI (4K) displays and multi-monitor setups.

You can now drag Spectaculator to whichever monitor you want to use and go full screen on that monitor.

The display is now crisp and sharp again on modern versions of Windows with 4K displays. Overlays in particular benefit greatly from high DPI screens.

Previously, Windows would just scale the low-res window manually, causing a blurry effect and ruining any display enhancements such as scan lines and overlays.
