"Rec709 or will this double lut my output since the display is rec709 and
were not trying to simulate rec709 on an srgb monitor?"

This is a common misconception..

The Rec709 viewer transform in Nuke *does not* simulate Rec709 on an sRGB
display.
It applies a scene linear to Rec709 camera encoding curve, which is then
assumes will be shown on a Rec709/BT1886 display.

The slightly tricky thing with Nuke's monitor out functionality is it
doesn't allow you to control your display transform, or your legal (64-940)
vs full (0-1023) range. This means you either have to have your video
monitor setup to accept full range, or accept that one display or the other
is going to be incorrect.. You're also going to want to calibrate your GUI
display to BT1886

(Hiero on the other hand handles this much better)
