Ipad colour differs from mirrored monitor (when using Lightroom, camera roll looks the same)

Question

Hi guys
 I have been using the mobile version on my Ipad.
I decided to buy a nice monitor to work off my ipad.
when I'm trying to edit the photos, the color on the monitor looks nothing like the one on the ipad. I thought it was the monitor until I saved the picture to camera roll. The colors looked identical in color on the monitor as well as ipad.
  I then tried it on my flat screen tv and same deal.
as long as I'm out off Lightroom colors match , go into light room the color is off and way off.
  Is this because of raw va saved as jpeg?
any help would be great

I just want to make sure I understand this correctly. You have a monitor connected directly to your iPad? Is the screen mirrored between the iPad and monitor, or are you seeing two different screens between the monitor and the iPad. I know this is possible, I'm just not sure exactly how it works.

All the raw files I've encountered have a low resolution built in preview that has many uses. I believe this to be the photo you see on the back of your camera when reviewing, and it's also the same thing you see for the thumbnail in a folder, etc. This certainly explains why photos look different between a folder and inside of Lightroom.

Try importing a .jpeg to Lightroom and see if you have the same issues. This would rule out whether or not this is expected behavior with a raw file.
