Most modern monitors will allow you to change the color settings including gamma. Or if you have a calibrator you can give it a target like rec 709: However, if Ady has two monitors, he can change one of them and view on one. Also The chromaticity for sRGB and rec 709 are pretty much the same I believe. rec 709 is closer to film gamma.
Edit: Windows 7 and 8 have 10 Bit output support via nVidia Quadro cards.
True points, however that still doesn't solve the problem of the OS mucking with the color output of the program's output, then it has to go to the video card LUTs, then to the display. I doubt Ady has a Quadro, simply because they are prohibitively expensive.
The best solution is to get a Decklink card and run HDMI out of that to the grading display. That way you know that what you're seeing (assuming the display is calibrated correctly) is exactly what the program is displaying.
