My son put a magnet against our TV and now the screen has a color run in the corner?

You need to preform a process called "degaussing" to your TV. It is a simple fix. You just need either an electro magnet, or a stronger magnet that was used to damage the set. Take the magnet and start waving it over the screen as close to the actual screen you can get with out actually making contact.After moving the magnet over the damaged area in a circular motion for a few revolutions move the magnet towards the closest corner of the screen and then just as if you were wiping off the screen swoop the magnet over the corner of the screen then completely away from the TV. It may take a few times repeating this motion to fix the problem, but it does work.
One other thing, the lady above that mentioned holding a hand mixer by the damaged area and turning it on for a few seconds is actually headed in the right direction. Inside the body of the hand mixer are two small electrical motors that power the beaters. Those two motors are basically electro magnets that can do the same degaussing thing I mentioned above. It does not work with all mixers. Believe it or not but the cheaper the mixer, the better it works for degaussing, because the cheep models have less insulation in them, thus the magnetic field can travel further.
I hope this works for you. Please, let us know how it turns out. Good Luck!

This will sound really odd but it's worked for me. Hold an electric mixer in front to the screen and turn it on. Believe it or not it will "mix" color back where it belongs.
