After calibrating monitor with X-rite i1Profiler on multiple monitors. On one of them Dell 2408WFP, the photoshop is showing different colors than other previewers. (Chrome on right) Photoshop working space set to sRGB.

But opening Save for Web the preview is saturated again.

Can't figure it out how to fix it? I work on PC with windows, Nvidia graphic card.

Hi

When you calibrated your monitor you will actually have done two things. One - adjusted your monitor and created a calibration file to bring it as close as possible to a standard. Two -created a profile which is used by colour managed applications to adjust the displayed colours and make them as accurate as possible.

If you ensure you Photos are saved with an ICC profile, colour managed applications will display the image correctly.

Photoshop uses colour management - most broswers do not. They simply ignore the profile (Firefox can be set up to use profiles). Therefore comparing Photoshop to a non colour managed browser/viewer will show a difference no matter how good your calibration and profiling. The viewers without colour management are displaying incorrectly.

On older monitors with limited colours - an image in the the sRGB space did not look that different (managed or not)  but on newer wide gamut monitors - correct colour management is absolutely essential .

I've found dealing with colour profiles on a PC is tough enough on single monitor systems but even worse with multiple monitors.

As you say, you need to ensure Windows is loading the correct profile associated with each display.  On Windows 7 I found that the monitor profiles don't get loaded on start up by default and you have to delve into the Advanced Color management settings to enable this (and can only do so in Administrator mode).

The trouble is, the Windows desktop and a lot of applications don't support monitor profiles or, if they do, they don't support them across multiple monitors.  For instance, Firefox can be set up to use monitor profiles, but it only picks up the profile for the 'main display' and applies that across all displays.  Fortunately Photoshop seems to work correctly across multiple monitors.  However, Adobe Camera Raw suffers from the same problem as Firefox, meaning you have to perform Raw edits on your main display, or otherwise set the main display to the profile of the monitor you are editing on and sacrifice colour accuracy on your main display.

I use a handy little utility called DisplayProfile if I want to switch monitor profiles (e.g. if I switch the monitor to AdobeRGB or sRGB mode).  It's quicker than delving into the Windows settings.

This should normally work out of the box with no user intervention. The calibration software should set up the appropriate profile as system default for each display.

If it isn't working you probably have some other issue. Going into the Advanced tab in Windows Color Management is something you should never do or need.

However - it's true that ACR has had a problem here (which only some users report). But my impression is that this happens mostly in Mac OS.

The OP's question was correctly answered by Dave.
