This was not my point. My point was that even if I run the signal of the NLE, Quick Time Player and VLC Player thorogh dedicated pro level SDI-card to a calibrated monitor I will still see different results in between those applications just because they treat the image differently depending on their settings (and in the given example of this thread these differ between full 8Bit colorspace and broadcast colorspace). I just have to know about this fact. However, Jim_Simons and your point to run the signal throgh dedicated hardware to a calibrated monitor is still very important. As you said it elimintaes the uncertaincy of color altering throgh GPU "improvement operations" for consumers and uncalibrated monitors. But it still won't eleminate the fact that different applications (NLE 1, NLE 2, Videoplayer 1, Videoplayer 2, YouTube, etc.) can output the image differently depending on their settings.
