You likely have the convergence IC issue, as outlined in the following thread. It's very common on TVs that are 3+ years old. You'll need to replace the convergence ICs, any resistors on the circuit and it's a good idea to check for cracked solder. Please read post 1 and the links there carefully:

There are probably some threads in the Panasonic forum which may have more specific information for your model... Search there for "convergence resistors" for example.
