You can easily use two monitors with Lightroom.
On the left end of the Filmstrip, look for the two buttons labeled 1 and 2.

2 is the secondary display.
If you're using only one monitor, click the 2.
You can also press F11 (Windows) or Cmd + F11 (Mac).
A window will open simulating the secondary display.
