A TV is calibrated by the factory to provide a "standard" picture that attempts to appeal to the vast number of buyers who take the set home. To adjust a TV picture that is too green, you must first enter the hidden "service menu" that technicians use. Adjusting the colors to remove the green cast will save you the cost that would otherwise be incurred from a TV technician coming to your home. No special tools are needed, nor any expertise in how the TV works.
Press the power button on the remote of a TV whose picture is too green in order to turn it on.
Press and hold down the "Menu" key until the manufacturer's logo appears on the screen. This could take up to a minute or more. Release the "Menu" key when the logo appears.
Immediately press the "9," "8," "7" and "6" keys in this order. Press the "Enter" button on the remote to enter the "Service Menu" screen.
Press the "Menu" button to go to the second of the two "Service Menu" screens. Press down on the "Down" arrow until you highlight "Color Calibration." Press the "Enter" button to enter the "Color Calibration" screen.
Select one of the color bars on the screen. Adjust the color by changing the values of the color bar by pressing left and right on the "left" and "right" arrows on the remote. Repeat this procedure with the other color bars as well. Stop adjusting the colors when the green cast is no longer present.
Press and hold the "Power" button on the remote to exit the "Service Menu" and save the adjustments you have made. Turn the TV off.
Press "Menu" on the remote select the "Magic Focus" option in the Video menu or press the "Magic Focus" button on the front panel to adjust the convergence of the three picture tubes that create the proper color for the picture. Pressing the button on the TV initiates the automatic adjustment, and accessing the feature through the Video menu allows you to choose automatic or manual adjustment, though the "Automatic" setting must be selected for the button on the front of the TV to begin the process.
The Tint function can be accesed by the following steps.
The PICTURE menu offers options to enhance and refine the picture displayed on your TV based on ambient room light and personal preferences. Adjustment options include contrast, brightness, color, sharpness and color temperature
Press the MENU button on the remote control. Navigate using t u arrow buttons to select PICTURE. Press the down q arrow button to highlight PICTURE MODE, then press the u arrow button to select your viewing preference from 4 factory options:
STANDARD > DYNAMIC > MOVIE > PERSONAL. The STANDARD setting is recommended for most viewing environments. Depending on the ambient light level in the room, you may find one of the other options more pleasing.
To make more critical adjustments based on your own preferences in PERSONAL:
• Use down q arrow button to highlight Contrast. Navigate using the t u arrow buttons to increase or decrease contrast intensity. • Use down q arrow button to highlight Brightness. Navigate using the t u arrow buttons to increase or decrease overall brightness. • Use down q arrow button to highlight Color. Navigate using the t u arrow buttons to increase or decrease color intensity. • Use down q arrow button to highlight Tint. Navigate using the t u arrow buttons to adjust colors toward green or reddish tint. • Use down q arrow button to highlight Sharpness. Navigate using the t u arrow buttons to soften or view crisper edges in the picture. • Use down q arrow button to highlight Color Temperature. Navigate using the t u arrow buttons to select COOL (more bluish tone), NORMAL or WARM. The default setting is NORMAL. WARM mode will provide color that is calibrated to D6500° Kelvin, the standard color that broadcast stations and the Motion Picture industry consider as the most accurate to view programming.
Note: When adjustments are completed, you may select another menu by pressing the Menu button.

Here is something that may help from the toshiba.com website under your model number television. Q. Why are people on my screen green? Models: 32HL17, 37HL17, 42HL17, 42HL167, 47HL167, 52HL167, 42HL167, 42LX177, 46LX177, 52LX177, 57LX177 REF:FAQLCD00107 If the problem is not the connections, try adjusting the tint on your television. A high tint setting will usually create a green image on the screen where as a low tint will create a more red hue. In order to access your television's tint: 1. Press the “MENU” button on your remote control and use the LEFT or RIGHT arrow keys and select the VIDEO menu. 2. Then use the UP and DOWN arrow keys to highlight PICTURE SETTINGS and press the "ENTER" button on your remote. 3. Next use the UP and DOWN arrow keys to highlight TINT then use the LEFT or RIGHT arrow keys to adjust the TINT. If the picture is too green the tint will need to be lowered. 4. Once you have adjusted the tint to your liking, use the DOWN arrow key to highlight DONE and press ENTER. The toshiba customer service telephone number is : 1-800-631-3811. I hope this helps you with your problem.
You can access the menu by hitting two buttons on the TV itself at the same time. You then adjust by hitting the up/down buttons.
The double pictures u mention sounds like a convergence problem.
If adjusting the convergence via the menu does not work
you would need to order 2 parts and be able to solder. A rather inexpensive repair if you can do it yourself.
