Resources for calibrating a new TV?

Just picked up a LG C1. Looking for any websites, YouTube vids, etc to calibrate this thing/optimize the settings

I know very little about audio/video so the setting options make zero sense to me

Just google your tv and calibration.

I used to use a light meter and test patterns but at the end ofnthe day you'll atleast get well in the ballpark using others settings

Most tvs now have prettty good colour accuracy in Movie / Film mode anyway

i have both a CX/C1 and i've read many sources to decide on settings. might not be the best for gaming (i don't play games on my TVs) and i'm not saying if you were to put a calibration device on your display it would be 100% accurate but these settings seem to be what most people use/recommend including myself and i'm completely happy with the results:
