Hi. I'm moving away from the PC and my current PC monitor has a mode for Rec 709. Is it possible to set the monitor to Rec 709 on the iMac? I've went to the color calibration, but I don't see how to change the space. Thanks in advance.

well, teak421, you'd probably have to find some more precise monitor calibration software/calibration tools, although basic ones are built into the Mac OS, and as the software and hardware have advanced, so has the level of calibration you can achieve. This link....https://blog.conradchavez.com/2015/10/27/new-os-x-color-profiles-strengthen-mac-digital-cinema-support/ says that Mac OS El Capitan does have a Rec-709 colour profiles, so I have to assume that your new iMac 2020 supports it. as you're running Catalina.... so no problem there. you'd probably have to use a calibration probe and the software that comes with it, assuming that there's a Mac version (Catalina version) of it....and there very may well be one...)
hope this helps you a bit

good ! glad to hear you got it sorted out.. i guess the x-rite 1 studio is pretty good, though i don't know beans about calibration. of course, you could plug in an external monitor to your iMac 2020( m1) using USB-C.. or if you had the $, buy a 4k/5k external Thunderbolt 3 monitor.. .

Thanks for the information... Still getting use to the Mac. I have an x-rite 1 studio so I'm off to the races! Didn't think about it, but they have a Mac version that works well.
