How do I set up Adobe's color management system when working on multiple monitors?

Hello
Earlier I read articles on Habré and not only where they wrote that in the color management settings you need to set the monitor profile. And what if there are 2 monitors and they are different?

  1. An old Dell u2311h with a slightly yellowed backlight (or it was, but I immediately set it up and forgot it). Previously, it was like the main one, but when I was physically tired of its PWM modulation, it became the second one. Today I calibrated it with the x-rite i1Display Pro, but without lowering the backlight, a super-result cannot be achieved. I had to sacrifice contrast and overestimate the luminosity.
  2. The new LG 23MP65D-P made it the main one, because there is no PWM and there are reader modes

Their profiles are quite different. By default, Dell is yellow (instead of 6500k it gives 5280k), and LG on the LEDs is blue. The curves seem to be smoother on the LG. Adjusted the contrast on both around 600:1. Dell - 90cd/m2, LG - 80cd/m2
These are screenshots of the first attempt to use the calibrator (I didn't save the final results), but the curves are visible here:

What should I set in color management settings in Adobe? Now stands LG.
I don't do printing. Now I'm learning programming, but sometimes they ask for help with a website or illustrations.

I do printing.
I set my own profile in the Windows settings for each monitor, in the Adobe settings I usually set
RGB: Adobe RGB
CMYK: SWOP (Coated), 20%, GCR, Medium
and also checkboxes Convert to profile when opening.
And then the most correct colors.
Why is that?
1. When profiling the monitor, we adjust the colors to the "reference", therefore, each monitor should have its own profile, which would be closest to them. Therefore, we set it in the Windows settings.
2. In Adobe, set the workspace to the profile of the device for which this picture is intended .
For example, when I print with silk CMYK paints, they simply physically make dirty yellow from bright yellow (the peculiarities of colors, pure yellow cannot be achieved),
I set my silk profile in the workspace and see how it will look like, so that I can “play around” a little with colors that if this dirty yellow was not too noticeable.
(for bores - excluded from the description of color-division and other delights =)))
Ie . if you set it to the monitor profile, then the picture will look most correctly only on your monitor, the colors of others will be distorted (depending, of course, how to save it) and even if you drag the picture from one monitor to another, the same colors will change. a specific monitor profile is selected.
For the web, I recommend using sRGBas the accepted, uh, standard for average user
devices.
I can’t say that I’m right in the first instance and I will be glad to comments =)
