The above setting will produce correct image on that particular monitor.
Since your display gamma is 1.6 the image will appear darker on most
monitors. This is not a pov specific issue. Every image you edit on your
system will look too dark to others. If you want to give a hint how the
image should look just mention it's gamma 1.6. Or just apply additional
2.2/1.6 = 1.37 correction in an image editor before publishing to get
a more standard (sRGB) brightness distribution. Remember that most people
don't bother adjusting anything for a single picture so it's better to
follow the standard when publishing.

If the people viewing your images don't adjust their viewers to the
standard it's their loss and you can ignore them.
