Hardware configuration - Ideal budget setup

Hey everyone,

I would like to ask for your advise on how to set up the following hardware:

- iMac Pro (primary monitor)
- Asus ProArt pa32ucx
- LG OLED CX Series
- Blackmagic Ultra Studio 4K Mini
- Davinci Resolve 17.08 Beta
- Display CAL
- Xrite i1

My current color environment is in Rec 709 and P3 however, I would like to ultimately be able to get into HDR finishing as well.

Currently, I have my Ultrastudio Mini 4K connected over HDMI to my Asus ProArt while the LG gets a clean feed from resolve with the calibration LUT loaded internally. The Asus gets the calibration LUT through Resolve Display LUT.

My question is whether this is the smartest set up with the hardware available or if you recommend a different way?
Also, I'm experiencing that in Resolve 17, I'm no longer able to apply the Display LUT to the I/O box only but it affects the GUI as well.

Here's my workflow.
