I noticed the same annoying whine when I looked at a T1200HB in a store
a while ago, and later asked about the whine when I talked to a
Toshiba customer service person. He said that if a display whines, it is
defective; the display should be silent. I have since seen T1200HB's that
are indeed silent. Since you _recently_ purchased yours, call Toshiba and
see if you get the same answer I got, and if so, you might want to have
them fix it.
