that's incorrect, you choose your workingspace there, not your
monitor/display profile.
Shangara's right <you really don't want to do that>.

yes, there are other choices but monitor space isn't one of them. your
monitor profiling application should be doing this for you (setting
it's profile as default)

Maybe.
Once the monitor profile is set up as default (Win / control panels /
Displays) or as Display profile (Mac) the OS supplies it to photoshop
and otehr CM savvy applications. You can check wheteher photoshop sees
it by looking under Workingspaces / RGB in <color settings>, The
Monitor / Display profile being used is listed next to Monitor RGB: .
Now, whatever you do, don't select it there. Just look to see it it's
being used. Switch back to a proper workingspace afterwards.
hope it helps
