This is not a RGB convergence problem. This is the dreaded Y/C delay (different kind of convergence) problem!! It affects all TVs to some small extent but good TVs should have good Y/C convergence. The 2005 Toshibas are BY FAR the worst TVs in regards to Y/C delay of all TVs that I have ever seen in my whole life! I own one, so I know. It sucks, these TVs are a piece of crap! :|
Unfortunately there is almost nothing you can do. I rarely see people talking about Y/C Delay yet in my opinion it is the worst quality-affecting phenomena I see. Blame the sorry state of your TV half on Toshiba, and half on the general TV consumer public for generally having no clue what Y/C Delay is or how critical it is. When I look around at TVs one of the first things I check on all TVs is how bad or good the amount of Y/C Delay is. It is present on all kinds of TVs including CRT, LCD, whatever.
There is one thing you can do to partially alleviate this problem. Don't use the component inputs on your Toshiba. The Y/C delay changes with the input. The Toshibas have pretty good Y/C delay through the composite and S-Video inputs. So use S-Video for your DVD player but unfortunately if you want HD you have to use the component cables and you will have that dreaded problem.
(BTW, some Toshiba models have less Y/C delay than others. The 30HF85 I currently have actually has decent Y/C delay through component. It's not good but not as bad as yours).

I'm currently bugging Toshiba for mine as well, although it is for a different issue.
