You can specify the number of pixels that LR generates for its Preview image. Too low of a pixel count could result in apparent blurriness.
Preview images are used only in the Library and Print modules.
... when I'm in the develop module working on a photo it always looks blurry and it sometimes makes editing a little difficult. After I finish the edit and export it, if I look at the finished image in Zoombrowser it is very sharp.
1. First aid for Develop module display problems - turn off GPU usage (Preferences/Performance).
2. Make sure you have adequate space allocated to the Camera Raw cache
(Preferences/Performance), purge cache.
3. If resizing in Export, doing output sharpening?
4. Comparison between apps should always be done at 100%, especially for sharpness/noise.
