Yes, if your 4% is set to 56 that means you're authoring the content for sRGB (gamma space), so the texture should be loaded as sRGB. If you loaded it as linear space it would not apply gamma correction, which means it would be 22% rather than 4%, which would be incorrect.
I use a 27" DELL (2560x1440) and after a few years of use I'd rather have two or three smaller 22-24 ones, or go with a very large 32 inch 4K. A 27 takes up a lot of space and isn't that much bigger than a 24 inch.
Hey Ally, It does say you are registered. It says the email was sent on 9/22. I resent it. Let me know if you still don't get it and I will send it from my personal email. Love the direction you are going btw :) Can't wait to see more!
Update 2/22: Trying to get this wrapped up and need some crits. I made some subtle tweaks to most of the textures and lighting and added a few clutter meshes. Any/all feedback is greatly appreciated! :) kosh_fotsirk: Good call, I think it looks much better.

Hate to say it 22, but I think the GT-R is one of the most hideous looking things Nissan has put out in a while, even worse than the headlight / taillight redesign on the Z. (And it can be beaten by a factory supercharged Corvette ... nevermind those transmission rules Nissan has ;) )
Heh, yeah, evidence of extreme driving stupidity was on BBC News a week or so ago. Some 22 year old lass putting makeup on while driving (mirror in one hand, lipstick in the other). Dumb as all hell. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/north_west/4785686.stm
The future is now! http://deputy-dog.com/2007/11/22/top-9-unique-structures-soon-to-be-built/ Personally, I'd like to see a whole city made of buildings like number 5 (residence antilia, india), with cool little bridges between all the buildings and levels. Inspiring stuff... I'm glad the human race is still building…
