Steve,
Yes, it's the new HP display. And yes, when I assign the HP profile while
still in PS, it appears the way I've described.
But why then does it appear okay in PS or LR before exporting, and it
appears okay if I save with sRGB profile and reopen in PS; but on the web,
and in the "save for web" dialog, the image is not accurate? As for the
browser, it's IE7 on a PC. Is it an OS issue?
Bob

Hi Bob,
I think you may just be over thinking this a bit.
I expect the difference you see is between sRGB and your display's native
behavior.... although that depends somewhat on which browser you are viewing
your images in.
Try this. After converting your image to sRGB in Photoshop, temporarily
assign your monitor profile to the image. If you see the same color problem
then that's the issue.
Your display, when sent raw sRGB values, displays them more saturated and
red than sRGB.
Are we talking about your new HP display?
Regards,
Steve
