First, unplug the tv, let it sit for 3-4 minutes.
Next, turn the TV on its side and plug it back in.
Turn on the tv, maybe play something for 5-6 minutes.
Turn off the tv, and unplug it.  Let it sit for another 3-4 minutes.
Turn the tv back to its original state and plug it back in.


Viola, instant degauss, well sorta.
This is a trick my bro got off a forum of shmups players (vertical shmups to be exact.)  Works great, and fixes every problem I've seen so far.

Unfortunately that is difficult in most situations with users of this forum.  The TV will be in a cabinet.  Just moving the Tv in and out can cause issues after degauss.  you really need to degauss in place.

J-Rod:
I would think you could just make a coil. Find yourself some sort of ferrous ring, and an unused plug and cord for 110. Wire it up, attach a switch, and wrap the whole chebang in electrical tape. Voila.
