P: 2nd Monitor image dullness after migrating to MacOS 10.11 El Capitan (profile issue)

I realize the following problem with Lightroom V6.1.1 after migrating my MacBook Pro to Mac OS-X El Capitan:
MacBook Pro Retina is the Main Monitor and NEC MultiSync PA271W is the 2nd Monitor.
Both Monitors are calibrated using Xrite i1 Profiler and I verified that the correct ICC-Profiles are associated with the Monitors (Mac OS-X System Configuration space).
In the Library Module everything is fine, but when I switch to the Development Module, the image on the 2nd Monitor gets dull after some seconds. Stepping forward one image, the image on the 2nd Monitor brightens up and gets dull again after some seconds.

    We'll have to dip into ... and meanwhile expect the solution.

    Unfortunaly, there is no quick fix since this depends on the Apple. In the meanwhile, you can build a matrix based display profile or a smaller LUT based display profile. It seems that El Capitan cannot handle 33x33x33 sized LUT display color profile. It seems to be able to handle smaller ones. But we haven't determined the actual threshold when it starts to break down.

    Hello!

    (Excuse me for my bad english)

    I have a similar problem, I used my Mac Book Pro connected to my second Dell 2209WA monitor smoothly, until I upgraded to El Capitan.
    From there, working with the second monitor, it happens that after a few seconds the photographs taken on a different tone revealed Lightroom module (6), but not in the Library module. Also the program unexpectedly quits.

    Any solution?

    Thank you so much!

    Thanks. We've reported the issue to Apple and working with them to find a solution.

    Hi Jeffrey,

    I've uploaded the profiles to a public folder on Dropbox, this is the link:

    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4...

    Please refer to the readme.txt file within profiles.zip, it describes how the profiles have been generated and which are triggering the problem we're discussing here.

    Kind regards,

    Roland

    Hi Jeffrey,

    sure. Please drop me an e-mail with upload instruction and I'll provide (iMac and NEC PA 271W).

    Klaus can do the same for his profiles.

    Kind Regards, Roland

    Hi Klaus, could I get a copy of the affected color profiles that exhibit this problem? Our QE would like to use them for testing and sussing out this issue with Apple.

    Hello Simon,

    if I turn off the GPU Acceleration in the LR Preference dialog, the renders of both monitors become consistent and the image on both monitors gets dark/dull.

    Kind regards, Klaus

    Can you confirm if you turn off the GPU acceleration in the Lightroom user preference dialog, will the renders of the two monitor becomes consistent again?
