Default magnet on tv screen

i might be on a loser here but does anybody know if you can fix a tv
screen after a magnet has been held against it(my 4 year old daughter)
it is a sony 28" crt widescreen tv. there is discolour in one corner
where the magnet has actually touched the screen.
if not the tv is a rental anyway so i will have to return it a play
dumb about the problem.
any help would be great


If it doesn't clear up on its own ( I have known this happen with computer
monitors ) the use of a hand-held degausser would fix it ( eg by a repair chap
).

Certainly nothing serious to worry about.
