I was referring to LR and PS on the same display. 100% view sounds familiar. Not very useful with large images. You are right I could use an instrument but DCM does work for this type of thing for a quick and simple comparison. The actual accuracy or lack of is less important than confining that what should be the same is not or vice versa.

Just the other day I was using Lightroom 5 on a dual monitor set-up and wondering why the image displayed on the second screen in develop mode is darker than it is when opened in photoshop
If the display profiles defining the calbiration are not identical (and that's unlikely) wouldn't that throw the DigitalColor Meter analysis off? Also, in LR, you need to view the data in Develop at 1:1 (100%) while viewing the image that way in Photoshop. On the same display, they should appear the same. On differing displays, I suspect the calibration would be a huge factor here. Lastly, why not use a instrument? Presumably you used one to build the profile for both displays.
I just don't as yet see anything that the DigitalColor Meter provides that is useful for color managed workflows. But I'm open to suggestions.
