That's gotta be tough for your TV, as I hear it isn't easy being green. :lol:

As for your issue, a glass screen generally indicates a CRT TV. They are suseptible to magnetic interferance from nearby sources like poorly shielded speakers. Some TVs have a degauss function, not not all. Check to see if you TV can perform this function as it will likely return it to normal.

First, make sure this isn't actively being caused by something near the TV like an external speaker. Then find if your TV has a degauss function. You may need to use it many, many times to make this go away depending on the severity. Beyond that you can buy manual degaussers:

Be careful using them, as their ability to fix a CRT is exactly how you bulk erase floppy disks and hard drives (CDs and other optical media are safe).

I just have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed that entire post.

Great "not easy bein' green" line...that's a real zinger. And the best part - the tag...very nice.

I would suspect that is a tiny red button that you need a pencil or or sewing needle to push. I see a little button on my old CRT display that says "Reset" but it may be called "de gause". It may be a button or in a menu. Location is probably with the rest of the display control buttons or behind the display.

Get a flat panel.

Physical buttons on the TV. Or! Directly behind the TV.
buttons are only in one or two places...

The degause function is in my menu on my TV under options. Mines an LG. And did you say you added speakers to the sides of your TV? If these have poor sheilding, then they have a very good chance of causing your problem.

Well if something doesn't keep messing it up it MIGHT go away on its own, but that could take 6 or more before you notice that it is gone completely. Like someone said earlier, try finding a manual degausser that you can by and use on it. That seems like your only option if your TV doesn't have an option.

 Edit: If it only happens with your 360, maybe that cables are bad.

what I was thinking if it is only with your 360, could be the cables?
