Hello. I've read some other topics about issues like mine but nothing that a i've tried worked for me. First of all, sorry for my bad english. The problem is that Images look very different between devolp and library modules. I'm using windows 11, lightroom classic 13.2,  an LG monitor ultrawike 29" 29wk600 model with  AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT video adapter importing using 1:1 previews and it doesn't matter what I try to do differente, the difference between the imagens in the modules are so different. In develop imagens looks sharper and with more texture as the example below: (first one from  develop and the second from library).

 

Other example (first one from develop and second one from library)

 

What do you think should I do to solve this, please? 
Thank you!

While there are differences in how Library and Develop display photo details, the examples you posted look larger than normal. Next steps:

 

1. View the Library and Develop images at 100% (View > Zoom To 100%).  If you still see significant differences, post screenshots of the same portion of the image from Library and Develop.

 

2. In Library, after zooming to 100%, zoom back to Fit. Does it now look sharper and closer to Develop? If it looks sharper after zooming to 100% and back to Fit, that suggests that the 1:1 preview wasn't originally displayed, and we can dig into that more.

Your 100% examples are tonally absolutely identical - but the Develop screenshot appears to have sharpening applied. That sharpening is for some reason not there in the Library screenshot.

 

I have no idea why, I can't reproduce that here. All changes reflect right away. Maybe a corrupt Preview cache? I'd try to delete the Preview cache and let it rebuild.

 

The color example is still "loading..." in Develop, so that's not a valid comparison. It looks like the monitor profile is not fully loaded. I've seen people complain of very slow loading in Develop at times, again I don't know why, and again I can't reproduce it here.

 

Maybe this is all down to slow loading? That is in itself a problem, of course, but it always helps to narrow down the problem.
