It sounds like you have a projection TV. If this is true, you can rule out "degaussing" (or resolving interfereing magnetic fields) right away. Contrary to what some may tell you, projection TV's don't require it. Only CRT's do.
So, it could be a few different of things. The first possibilty is that you have a convergence problem. This may be more likely with the symptom of "double images" you described and the fact that you moved it. The components that make sure each color image is in synch with the others may have failed. Unfortunately, you'll probably have to have it looked at by a tech. If it's less than a year old, you are probably covered under warranty.
The other (and more troubling) possibility is that you bought a Sony SXRD series TV. There have been rumors that some of its highly rated SXRDs are developing something called green blob syndrome after 1,000 to 2,000 hours of use. Allegedly, due to a flaw in the light engine, a glow of green light appears on the screen and just doesn't go away.
Several pictures of the blob have appeared on the Web. There are rumors of a class-action lawsuit--or at least, a pending lawsuit that Sony wouldn't comment on. A Sony spokesperson did say that "Sony's own customer service data among hundreds of thousands of satisfied consumers who purchased SXRD televisions in 2005-06 indicate service and return rates that are similar to or below Sony's historical television average and the overall industry average for microdisplay televisions.
Take a look at this picture and the links I've provided on the bottom of the pagge to see if this is what you're experiencing.

Hope this gets you pointed in the right direction.

When you moved, you could have bumped it (or a bump in the road while transporting it), or who knows... a lot of things go wrong with sensitive electronics while moving.
I can't tell for sure what your problem may be. You will need to have a tv repairman come out and diagnose it. You might get lucky and it might be an inexpensive fix. Most likely though, the repair will cost almost as much as getting a new one. It's up to you to weigh the pros and cons of repairing or replacing.

only how good are you at eliminating solder and utilizing it to 22 pins separated by in common words a million/16 of an inch? are you able to position in all 22 pins heavily at the same time as the area company sends you UNALIGNED pins attributable to the "MAGIC of delivery" ? are you able to heavily PRY 2 vast integrated Circuits off a large Heatsink with out Ripping the mushy Copper foils that connect those elements to some thing else of the electronics that rigidity that IC? highly at the same time as the HEATSINK Compound has Dried to the point that it acts like Cement? IT AIN'T person-friendly.....even for a television TECH..... yet after YEARS of practice....it really is particularly a lot a means I really have..... and also you'd be needing 2 Convergence ICs ($30) Heatsink compound ($10) Solder ($15), Solder Wick ( $10) and a Temperature managed Soldering iron to guard those copper foils from overheating and disintegrating ($one hundred thirty)..... about $2 hundred no longer which includes equipment..... yet you need to do it...... And it really isn't any longer puzzling to carry close which elements you want, only look interior and discover the most important 2 elements contained in the television set placed on the most important heatsinks on the board.... there is too many differing varieties/fashions of convergence amps to carry close which of them to get....yet they commence with STKxxx-xxx.... have relaxing busting the Convergence amps freed from the Heatsinks... I USED to take a Hammer and Chisel to them....yet i got here upon a safer thanks to do it.

If your going to spend a fortune fixing it then you might as well buy a new one. I mean you could spend a fortune on it and fix then something else could go wrong. Just buy a new one and do RESEARCH before you do.

Did you happen to place a magnet on or near it? Magnets and t.v.s often do not mix. Magnets can ruin them somehow.
