Green tint on left side of screen...

I noticed about a month ago a green tint started to show up on the left side of the screen. This is after a professional calibration on a Panasonic 47X54 RPTV. The tint has grown some, not really in intensity, but in size -- it now takes up roughly a quarter of the screen on the left side. At first I thought that it was electronical interference, since all the devices (including subwoofer) is on the left. So I moved the subwoofer, but still had a problem. Then I thought it might just be because I was only using composite cables at the time... but it is still present with component cables, even HDMI cables. The tint is quite annoying, because it not only affects whites (the most common problem), but also blues, and overall just makes it so the picture isn't uniform all the way across.

Bottom line, what do I do to eliminate the green tint? I'm postive it's not burn-in... I figure it has something to do with the lenses, but I do not know how to open the case to clean them.

    Wait, you had a subwoofer on the left? Magents usually turn a TV green. Have you unplugged the TV for an extended period of time with any sort of speaker far away from the TV?

    The tint may be permanent damage from sitting close the sub for so long. You can try degaussing it, and/or shutting it off and storing it disconnected from power for 3-5 days.

    If that doesn't do it, professional repair or possibly replacement are probably required.

    It's not your lenses, it's more that your electron gun is wonky. Try degaussing and moving the speaker away, like Ruckus said, but you'll probably need to replace the gun.

    How long ago was it calibrated?

    How would I go about degaussing a CRT television?
