HVX 200/Pana 17" luma/croma/gamma question

I have the pana 17" (720) monitor and the HVX and get a bit confused when monitoring.

I'm currently working on a 1080i 50 project shot on the HVX. The monitor is calibrated.

The camera is shot with one of the cine gammas (V) and the shots were monitored through the component out from the HVX during shooting.

I use Blckmagic SDI from FinalCut to monitor the edits.
The monitor was adjusted with "normal" gamma during shooting.

As far as I can see, the shots looks like the ones I thought I saw during shooting, when the monitor is set to film-gamma, but the luma and croma looks totally different when viewed in "film" and "normal" modes.

The material is to be viewed on TV's and on web.

1. Which to trust (most) for post?
2. How do I avoid this kind of surprises?

I would love to do the post with the "film-gamma" settings, but am I only fooling myself?

The Film Gamma setting is for posting something for a Film out. If your project is for Broadcast or Video release, use the other setting.

Best,
