I would like to see Lightroom become more flexible like PS so that you can move panels around and totally reconfigure the workspace according to your needs. Images on one monitor…floating menus on another. It is time consuming having to scroll up and down to access different menus.

Dual monitor feature is really great. But it is made somehow crappy… Even in LR3.

Usually, I keep on secondary monitor all panels. And it works perfectly for Photoshop. However, main panels in LR are fixed and one have to constantly scroll up and down to reach different settings.

Just set up my new HP LP2475W here. Went to Lagom to check the set up and the site seemed to be broken: none of the artificial tests showed anything. Until I brought it up on my laptop display. Nice screen. I still need to profile it correctly, but my colorimeter’s in storage on another continent, so for now I’m using the icc profile from tftcentral. Lagom indicates the gamma’s not right and there’s extensive blocking in the highlights, but its still looking better than out of the box.

Recommended.

Hey
I’ve been running lightroom 2 for a while, and have noticed a couple of things…
I have a macbook that is connected to a 22″ monitor as well. I would like to have the large 22″ monitor display a high res preview of the image, and have grid view and all the controls and options on my macbooks screen. Now here is the kicker. I can’t get the secondary screen to go full screen on my 22″ (likely because OSX sees it as the primary). If I take the lightroom window and put in on my Macbooks screen, and enter full screen it stays there. Same when it’s on the 22″, but the secondary will only go full screen on the macbook monitor. WTF?
No big deal, right? I can just scale the window up… but… There is a difference between full screen and non full screen in the secondary monitor. If it is not full screen, it does not show the full resolution. I zoomed in 8:1 so that I could literally count pixels of a small object in the picture… it’s only about 3/4 of the resolution. I noticed this just looking at it 1:1, since it wasn’t as sharp. Is there a workaround for this? Is there a way to set up the secondary monitor to go full screen on my 22″ monitor? (without changing the settings in OSX)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Hi Greg,

HardForum is generally the place you want to visit for such questions There’s a lot of experienced people there, and some have bought their monitors as refurbs and over eBay. Look around, maybe you’ll find some useful information – they have 107 (!) pages in the LP2475W thread: http://www.hardforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=78
