But as the video shows, there are 3 key areas. I think of it like trying to match a dining chair.

1. Rear cushion should be pretty close to upright, 100 degrees or so
2. Bottom cushion should be raised as much as possible
3. Lumbar support should be the bare minimum to make you comfortable, and fill in the gap between your back and the seat cushion.
Sounds painful and I'm glad that the G30 has all those settings available. Seeing as I will be hanging onto it for several years, I may need such adjustments myself in the future. I am very very close to the settings you listed, which is probably why I haven't needed to adjust further.
