Looks almost entirely fixed in 4.4 RC for me. Thanks for posting the link there. Much more usable now!

This issue has been somewhat improved in Lightroom 4.4. There is still work that needs to be done, but it's better than in 4.3.

The public release candidate of 4.4 is available for download here:

Please note that this is not the final version of Lightroom 4.4, it's a release candidate. A "release candidate" label indicates that this update is well tested but would benefit from additional community testing before it is distributed automatically to all of our customers.

Thanks,

Just stared for me on a 2 year old MacBook Pro OS 10.6.8 8Gb Ram, LR 4.3. Never had this issue before. The main laptop screen is fine at 100-200%. Second screen is blurry (in the image area) at any magnification. Quitting and restarting LR solves the bug for a while. Turning off and on secondary screen in LR doesn't fix it.

Secondary display is a CRT (still calibrating well) at 1600x1200x65 Hz.

Anyone offered any ideas yet?

Similar issue on Macbook pro retina 13" and 27" LED cinema display as secondary display, OSX 10.8.2, LR 4.3, CR 7.3

Problem occurs only on secondary display, in develop mode, loupe mode on secondary display, with canon RAW files (.CR2)

Apparently, on my side, problem appears everytime in native ratio (2x3 for me), not depending on orientation, in ratio 1x1 everything is ok.

This issue is very problematic for me since LR supports HiDPI displays only on 4.3.

I too have the same problem in LR 4.3. Vertical-oriented TIF's (see screenshot of second monitor below) and CR2's both have this issue. Zooming in fixes the issue, but a zoom out restores it. Library view does not have degraded performance in the second monitor.

Same problem - especially with vertical TIF files.
I have
1) upgraded to LR 4.3
2) updated my Graphics driver (2x)

The fuzziness goes away on ZOOM IN, but returns on ZOOM Out.
This is happening with both NEW and OLD images.
DNG are fine.
But once I edit it and save it in TIF format, either from Photoshop or PhotoMatix (HDR application), the image is fuzzy.

I'm also experiencing this problem and it seems to be related to portrait orientation. I have just rendered 1:1 previews for all images. For example I load new images in landscape orientation and within a second it is shape on both display, then I select the crop tool and crop (any value) and the preview looks fine. If hit the x key to rotate the orientation of the crop suddenly the preview is Ll blurred, if I hit x again to rotate back it looks fine.
