Displays are devices. They should be calibrated and profiled with a device-specific profile.
sRGB is a non-specific colorspace designed to model an uncalibrated display device for image output to displays. Adobe RGB (1998) is a non-specific colorspace designed to model a four-color CMYK web press image output. You shouldn't set sRGB or Adobe RGB as the display's color profile as a general rule. I don't know what your motivation in using the Adobe RGB was. The manufacturers' delivered profiles are rarely the best setup for a display device, no "standard delivered" profile can be due to variations in manufacture. You should use a calibration tool to set appropriate calibration targets and generate a display-specific hardware profile for it. It sounds like Dell provided a usable sRGB profile and a crappy Adobe RGB profile. The best thing would be to buy or borrow a colorimeter, and properly calibrate and profile your display.
