I'm using the monitor presets for sRGB and Adobe RGB. They may not be perfect but I reckon they'll be pretty good for a monitor of this standard. There's something much more fundamental that I still don't have my head around.

I can understand why the image would look different in colour managed Photoshop.. if I view an Adobe RGB image with sRGB monitor setting then naturally enough it must show the image in the reduced colour space. But I don't understand why the images online look so much different when I switch colour spaces on the monitor.. it should be shown within sRGB gamut with both monitor settings? I guess that's where my misunderstanding might be.. the browser is not colour managed at all so the monitor uses its full gamut to display the images even though they are nominally sRGB?
