Its very basic advice that will give you a better than out the box experience at best. It will not give 'the best display possible'

It's not the display I have problems with it's the sound, pity they don't give advice about that other than to buy a soundbar.

It will give better results than TRs advice (though ideally you need blue filters or 'THX' glasses for best results)
Or you could go the whole hog and get something like a Spyder 4 and use the HCFR software, which will give the best results possible outside of getting a pro calibration

For domestic use some basic guidance is all that is needed. I would hazard a guess that most users wouldn't necessarily notice any marked difference anyway.

You could but that misses the point, and you may as not bother

They will, and they probably won't like the look of the picture either at least initially, especially if they've been running in and got used to the'Dynamic' modes with contrast, brightness cranked up and all the garbage picture processing/enhancements enabled

The One Show started to look dull and lifeless so I put it back to default.

I was keeping it simple !!
My basic advice has always been to adjust your TV to give the best possible B&W picture, than add Colour, not too much..
Remember PLUGE !!

Agreed. Everything had different sound levels. Poking around in TV set up though - Panasonic - found an option - Equalise sound input over channels. Very impressed, can switch between tv, freesat box, dvs player without having to reach for remotes.
Might be worth a look to see if your tv has something similar.
