Calibration settings for my TV! Help? :/

I need some calibration settings for my TV (Philips LCD TV 32PFL3504D 81cm/32" 1080p).

I feel like I've looked everywhere on the internet and no one has anything on this goddamn TV. It's really frustrating. And I really don't feel like paying almost 1K for something I could probably do myself (and with the help of the internet).

The factory settings aren't that great and give skin tones an orange tone and crushed blacks. Any help?

Most LCD TVs can be fixed by doing the following:

Turn the sharpness all the way down.

Turn the brightness down until the blacks look black.

Turn the contrast down to about 1/4.

Also check the backlight or luminance settings, as those are usually set far too high.

As for the orange skin tones, stop watching Jersey Shore :P Seriously though, just try turning the color setting down a bit and if there's a "color temperature" setting, try changing that. TV display default settings are designed to look good under bright store lights, it's usually just a matter of turning a few settings down.
