The flyback runs at around 30kHz - most people can't hear tones that high.

so if you're hearing a squeal it's probably something else.

chech the extra-high-voltage wire for leaks. (maybe observe it in the
dark?) -- I expect you can plug such leaks with RTV silicone :)

OTOH maybe there's a pre-converting switched-mode powersuply unit in the
monitor that runs at around 2kHz (EG converting mains to 80V DC etc...).
there could be something loose in there or someththing losing.
