I have a 32" Panasonic Superflat that I purchased a year ago. I noticed (a long time ago -- but I'm addressing it now) a faint green streak on the glass of the tube. It's only noticable under certain conditions (i.e. bright scenes). I can't wipe it off. It seems it's on the inside of the glass. It's about 3" long and it looks as if someone took a green marker and marked the inside of my TV.
What the heck is this? And is there a way to get rid of it? Lately, it's been bothering me ... but I usually don't notice it. Thanks for any insight.

I had something like this on my 27" Sony when I first got it. Never did figure out what it was though, because it went away after a day or so. It was a faint green.

This is a shot in the dark but do you have a unshielded speaker on top of the tv or close to its sides?

I have a 27" Panny and have the same
sort of problem. Whenever there is a
scene with a mostly white background (or
other bright colors like that) it
shows up in the same spot each time.
Its a yellowish/green discoloration(sp?).
I emailed them once about it, but
got nothing back, time for a phone call
I suppose.
Oh, I have taken all speakers away from
the set and it still does it. It does
not look like it needs to be degauzed(sp?).

Man...by the title I thought you were reffering to that new John Goodman show. I don't quite have that figured out yet either, but I know it doesn't belong (neither).

who me?-
I have a magnetically shielded center channel on top of the TV and same for the front channels. It's always at the same place.

Poor Boy-lol

I have heard of cases where spiders have managed to sneak inside of monitors...

...you *might* want to see if there's a way to take a peek inside the case to see if maybe there's a small strand of spider web in there.

Is that a trinitron monitor? I bet it is. Sony monitors and trinitrons have a grill that is held onto the screen with the bands in the back. I believe it's call an appature grill and the wire hold it up to the screen.
