You can open a window that displays a second
view of the Library. This second window displays the photos that
are selected in the Library module, and uses the Library module
view options that are specified in the primary Lightroom window for
Grid and Loupe view. The second window can stay open regardless
of which module you’re working in, so it’s easy to view and select
different photos at any time. If you have a second monitor connected
to the computer that runs Lightroom, you can display the second
window on that screen.
Note: Lightroom does not
color-manage the view of the Library module on the second monitor.
When
working with multiple windows, Lightroom applies commands and edits to
the photo or photos that are selected in the main application window regardless
of what is selected in the second window. To apply a command to
one or more selected photos in the second window, right-click (Windows)
or Control-click (Mac OS) the selected photos in Grid,
Compare, or Survey view in the second window and choose a command.

in the primary window. In all Loupe modes in the second window,
you can adjust the zoom level.
You can lock any photo by right-clicking
(Windows) or Control-clicking (Mac OS) it in the main window
and choosing Lock To Second Monitor. Or select the photo and press
Ctrl+Shift+Enter (Windows) or Command+Shift+Return (Mac OS).
The photo that is currently locked to the second monitor displays
a second-window badge  in
the Filmstrip and in the thumbnail in Grid view of the main window.
