Doesn't a double tap on the screen bring the monitor to display the image 1:1?

"Focus Zoom - Double Tap
Double tap the touchscreen display to zoom into the image to help you adjust focus at the 1:1 pixel scale. Double tap the display again to zoom out."

Yes - double tap goes 1:1 (zooms in) to set focus; then single tap zooms back out to framing.
Also have focus peaking (fine bring edge highlighting when focus is achieved). And the SDI out to an external monitor also shows the BMCC peaking (at least on a SmallHD DP6 monitor)
