I have the same problem. I'm pretty sure the lamp will not take the green tint away, for the green comes from a problem with the optical block.

    The green screen is a problem with the optical block, Sony had a recall for that problem, I send mine and they fixed, the technician toll me that just the optical block cost $ 950.00 Dlls. itself. so, is not worth it to fix it. hope this can help.

Green tint - even background when blue selected

We have usually found it to be the VGA cable connection when the whole screen is tinted. Have you checked the pins in the VGA cord as well to make sure one is not missing or bent.

Have a green tint over 90% ot the center of the screen

I had the same problem with my 60V500A about a year ago. The screen got a red tint in the center and the image was fuzzy in that area. A new lamp didn't solve the problem. I did some checking and found out that the original light engine used in this model had a cooling issue that could cause the light engine to overheat and distort the LCD panels. My warranty had run out more than a year before this happened so I figured I was screwed since the light engine was so expensive. I decided to call Hitachi tech support and see if I could get a discount on the cost of a new light engine since the cooling problem was a known issue for this model TV. I calmly explained to them that I was aware of the cooling issue in the light engine and that I felt like a $4000 TV should last more than two or three years. Tech support gave me the phone number for my local authorized Hitachi service center and I gave them a call. Once the technician confirmed that it was the light engine that was the problem Hitachi sent him a replacement light engine at no cost to me. I was WAY past my warranty period so I still had to pay for the labor to replace the light engine. $300 for labor was a lot cheaper than buying a new light engine or tossing the TV and buying a new one. I have to say that Hitachi earned my respect for admitting there was a problem and doing what was needed to correct the problem more than a year after my warranty had expired.

reset all color settings from the unit's menu.
disconnect any source and turn off the unit
turn on the unit and wait for the manufacturers logo to show up (and it must be BLUE).

Green Tint on half of the screen

This is most likely a defect in the optical unit (about $1500.00 part). If out of warranty probably will just have to live with it. Those op units are also hard to get.
