    Techie DH behind me informs me that the squeal just means you can hear the horizontal output transformer oscillating. It's not a problem at all, is not a sign of impending doom and doesn't mean you need to replace your television. Some TVs just do that, apparently.

    Mine used to do that when it was in stand-by but if I turned it off properly it shut up.
