My Samsung T240 arrived yesterday morning and I absolutely love it so far. Obviously only having owned it for less than 48 hours I've not really had much time to test it out properly but I've played a number of games, browsed the net and generally used it as you would expect.

However this afternoon my focus switched to work mode. Namely a complicated Excel spreadsheet. Opening Excel with a blank workbook I immediately noticed the increased "surface area" so to speak in which I could work. So far so good. But then I opened a fairly complicated spreadsheet and immediately a very high pitched noise appeared. Being so high pitched it's hard to pinpoint exactly where it's coming from but the I've been working on the same spreadsheet for weeks on my old 2232BW and never noticed this before so I can only assume the noise is "emitting" from the T240.

If that wasn't weird enough if I zoom in or out of the spreadsheet the pitch of the noise increases or decreases accordingly.

Am I hearing things or is there some logic to this weird noise?

I've just looked at a spreadsheet document, zoomed in and out. Not heard a pitch or noise.. so maybe you need to RMA it?
 
My T220 makes noise if the brightness/contrast levels are reduced below 85% ish. I use ATI control panel to adjust these instead.
 
Are you using the built in speakers? Just I got my T260HD today and I have the same issue, I've not played with the contrast settings\brightness levels yet though...
 
I've had this, if you use the built in speakers with the supplied cable it makes this noise once I switched to HDMI input it went away. it is from the PC and depends on what you run. I have an xbox 360 a Wii and PS3 on it as well none make this noise.
