Most of the thread is about whether it is possible to properly grade video material using a monitor with insufficient gamut ; but this discussion has nothing to do with the fact that, in the end, the result is always meant to be displayed using 709 gamut.

Thats what i would've thought.
Why would a professional mastering studio master for a gamut which is only used on their screens, totally ignoring the Blu-ray spec which says you're supposed to use Rec. 709?
Sure, they are using SMPTE-C screens, that doesn't mean they master for them.
