I know, you´re asking for a software solution but
did you have a look at the Intensity/Intensity Pro
cards from Blackmagic Design (>Decklink)?
http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/intensity/

Come around $250-350, would likely at least
play *.tga sequences in realtime (from PremierePro)
to a HDMI/LCD.

Or are you looking for the most rudimentary kind
of playback? How about Maya fcheck or XSI´s
flipbook? The XSI flipbook does read *.dpx and
has a basic gamma control. You may allready be
happy with unchecking "keep images in memory"?

But if you stumble across a functional alternative,
please report.

Cheers

tim

FrameCycler "regular version" will play your DPX files without eating too
much RAM if you tweak the cache  settings.
