Question

Photos are blurry in develop module

I've noticed in the Lightroom develop module that the image is blurry, but when I am in the library module, zoom in, click fill screen, or turn off GPU acceleration this does not happen. 

I have a 2021 16" MacBook Pro with an M1 pro chip and am using the latest version of macOS, Lightroom, and MacOS.

 

I've done some research about this and apparently, it just happens with certain GPU's so I wanted to post this to file a bug report. If anyone has a fix that would be amazing. I also attached a screenshot of my system info.

there is no fix, lightroom is garbage. ive had this happening for the last 5 years. adobe does not give a F.
huhu turn off gpu acceleration - yeah nice fix, make lightroom run even worse or have blurry pictures. great choice.

" turn off gpu acceleration - yeah nice fix, make lightroom run even worse or have blurry pictures" 

Turning off the GPU is a diagnostic step - not a fix. 
Since your GPU, in the off position fixes the issue, that suggests the problem lies with the GPU.  Providing precise information regarding the GPU and its current driver would probably help the experts here in the forum diagnose and remedy your issue.
