Same thing here. sRGB is correct for the monitor.

But, what about the brightness and contrast settings? Normally, contrast 
should be set high (100%) and brightness relatively low (<30%). 
Brightness is to be adjusted for the ambient lighting level of the room, 
but not the contrast.
A low contrast makes your display washed out and generally lifeless.
If you have a saturation setting for the monitor, set it around 50% to 
start.

Next, you have the file gamma and display gamma to adjust. File gamma 
can be set from 1 to 2.2 or srgb, or something else if you want to. 
Display gamma should be the same as your actual gamma setting for the 
monitor : SRGB in your case.
