LCD Television Noise ???


I am contemplating the purchase of a 26" LCD television in the near future and have been browsing the web gathering information. I am considering Panasonic, Samsung, Sony and Toshiba. I read one review where the television emitted a subtle yet annoying high-pitched whine. Actually, my Dell high-resolution flat-screen computer monitor will do this until it gets really warmed up. Said televison was replaced twice with new units which all made the same noise. This would drive me crazy. Can anyone tell me if I should expect LCD television sets to do this, perhaps some worse than others? If so, which of the brands I mentioned would whine the least? Thank you!

I cannot afford Plasma and anyway the largest size that will fit my furniture is 26-inch. Thus I am seriously considering the Sony KDL-26S3000.
Thanks everyone, for your input! Since we are on the subject, here are the LCD televisions between which I am trying to choose:
Panasonic TC-26LX70
Samsung LN-T2653H
Sony KDL-26S3000 (second choices KDL-26ML130, KDL-26M3000)
Toshiba 26HL67
Opinions, please, Mr. Spock?
I am also considering the recently-discontinued but still-available Toshiba 26HF66. It is a flat-screen CRT set with all of the features of the newer LCD units. But it would barely fit in my cabinet and it weighs 80 pounds. I think that a quality CRT can beat a quality LCD. What say you?
