Hello, I am using HP spectre laptop (4k screen) and HP 27fw (FHD screen) as my 2nd monitor. When Im using LrC 10.1 in my laptop, the photo looks normal. But whenever i use my 2nd screen, green/blue/violets are showing in the screen especially on dark areas. see photos below for boht screens. Anybody has this problem and knows how to fix this? Thanks in advance.

Please post your System Information as Lightroom Classic (LrC) reports it. In LrC click on Help, then System Info, then Copy. Paste that information into a reply. Please present all information from first line down to and including Plug-in Info. Info after Plug-in info can be cut as that is just so much dead space to us non-Techs.

That's either a buggy video driver, or a defective monitor profile. Are you using a calibrator to make your profiles?

Yes, i used a calibrator before. and the 2nd monitor is a low-end one. Although, the original photos are loading fine outside LrC. It's only inside LrC when this happens. I will try to remove the icc profile and see what will happen. then i will update this thread. Thank you very much.

"It's only inside LrC when this happens."

Outside Lightroom you don't see the raw data, but the embedded jpeg.

Bad monitor profiles can affect Develop and Library differently, and it can affect different applications differently. Although it all ends up in the same monitor color space, the source data are very different, and so the actual conversions are different pieces of math. One may work, and others fail.

If you're not using a calibrator now, you're probably getting manufacturer profiles through Windows Update. These profiles are very often broken/bad in different ways.

Although, mind you, a buggy video driver is just as likely. To test, go into Preferences and disable GPU.
