P: Second Monitor initially not rendering image clearly.

aside from the work around like making an adjustment to the sharpness, or switching back and forth between develop module and library module...

It is a very annoying problem at times and I wish Adobe would provide an update to fix this...

OK, everybody reports the same problem, but does anyone know of a fix/ solution?

OK I see that.
Why are they doing it like this?

The second monitor will NEVER be accurate. It is a rendering of the image at the given magnification. Prove it to yourself...

1) set the primary display to 8:1
2) set the second display to 8:1

Look at the pixels.

The primary display has big fat pixels - the second display is homogenized no pixels.

Yes, it's still there on my Win 7 64-bit version with lots of RAM and lots of processors. I do think it's slightly better, but it IS there.

Hopefully V6 will put paid to this once and for all.

BTW, if there is a processing issue, why not do one or more of:
1) Display a "loading, please wait..." message until the correct rendering is done.
2) Have a check box that enables / disables full rendering.
3) If the preference to create full size previews is on, I obviously want the best rendering, so do it even if it takes time.

Second Monitor is still blurry in LR5.4.

Why is this ongoing problem not fixed?
This Problem has been reported since version 5.0 and is still present. I wonder why it is still ignored. There are features added for a minority of users rather than bug fixing.

Is this the future aof adobe "Try enything in order to bind your customers to the Cloud" ?

I see it randomly also, on W7/64.
Not practical when I rely on the 1:1 view on second monitor.

Hi everybody,
I have the same problem in LR 5.3 and Mac OS 10.9.2. Using two monitor is a very important feature and it's unusable with this refresh problem which make a blurry image.
Please correct this quickly !

Still not resolved in LR5.3. This whole LR5 story is a farce. Can't believe I can't trust my external monitor that's connected on my Surface Pro 2.

This is also confirmed by the fact the image in develop mode never shows pixels.

Try this.
Select an image in the Library module.
Open the Loupe view in the second monitor.
Zoom in to 8:1 on both screens or until the pixels are large and defined.
Now switch to Develop module.

The pixels on the primary monitor are still well defined while the image on the second monitor is homogenized.

Lesson: Don't Trust the Image on the Second Monitor.... it is a fake, an interpretation, an interpolated foney.
