The only picture controls you haven't accessed are the greyscale controls, which are located in the service menu.

Do you have a colour analyser and software to measure the changes?
If you do not, then simply choose Cinema mode and the warm colour temperature preset. This is likely to be the most accurate starting point.
Should you find any excess red from the warm preset offensive, try the normal colour temperature, as excess blue is often preferable without calibration equipment.
