Hi Brian,
You can make an image processing filter and apply it to your project
(using groups in Motion, or nesting in FCP). But the filter is part
of the project, not attached to a particular viewer. The user will
need to remember to switch it off when viewing your project on a
different display, or when you render / export to a file on disk. And
there isn't any FxPlug API to detect when you are being called for
display in the viewer, versus the canvas, versus exporting to disk.
So, you can't do that automatically in your plugin.
So, you can get close, but there aren't any "display LUT" hooks.
If you're interested, the FxPlug SDK is here:

Can we write plugins for a viewer?
1. For example, if I have a special preview monitor,
can I process the video image before it is displayed?
(process the video after it's gone from the timeline and the before
it appears in the display,
so that I can adjust it for the specialty display)
2. Alternatively, can process the image going to the canvas
viewer window before that image is displayed?
Where could I find more info on how to do this?
Just so I understand - are you trying to do something like apply a
device-specific look up table to the output? If so, you can do
something like this in Motion. You would write an FxPlug that does
the conversion, and simply apply it to a group containing your
entire project.
In FCP, I'm not positive, but could you make a nested sequence and
apply a filter to the nested sequence?
