Thanks.. I do have the option of using a Dell U2410 profile but when I try setting that in the OS color management setup, I don't get the right result in Photoshop. Something to investigate further one day.. I'm happy with the result using the monitor in sRGB or Adobe RGB mode with the corresponding display profile, but I can see what you mean about that defeating the purpose of having colour management and monitor profiles in the first place.
