What profile do i need to be on or do i want to be on the sRGB IEC61966-2.1
Well the box for that was ticked anyway
I have a reasonably new monitor.. someone else has said to be about colour calibration
What is it and how is it done?

Yes but what did it say? sRGB?
You want to make sure you are working with the sRGB profile at all times when doing web work.
Color correction is quite a dense topic and can get quite complicated, but there's a few things you need to be aware of:
1. Your browser does not use it's own color profile, it uses the one you have set in the operating system
2. Photoshop does use it's own color profile. By default it's set to sRGB, which is good.
3. When you save a JPG, you have the option to embed the color profile to the image. Otherwise, the color will be interpreted whichever way someone's operating system is set to. Having said that, embedding color profiles makes the JPG larger, and for this case, most web graphics are exported without one.
As far as the color differences on your own monitor between Photoshop and your browser goes, if you are saving the JPG with the embedded profile, you should be seeing the same colors. You don't need to color calibrate you monitor for that.
A color calibration device becomes useful when you want to make sure that the "dark grey" you are seeing is the same "dark grey" most other people will see and not, say, a "light grey". This is what I use to calibrate my monitor: http://spyder.datacolor.com/product-mc-s3elite.php
The easiest recommendation I can give you is, do your image in photoshop. Open it up on your browser. If it's too light, go back in photoshop and make it darker. Save it and see if it's solved the problem.
