Yes!
GET AWAY FROM THE NEWT!
Drop it!
Don't touch it!
Better yet, send it to me for proper disposal! It
isn't safe (for potential dangers, see Steel Rat's
taglines on the "Magic Fun Ball")
No...really, the whining is normal. The high frequency
transformer is probably wedged hard against some
reverberating plastic and amplifying the sound.
As for the contrast? Adjust to where you think is
normal, then double-tap on the word "contrast" and
that resets the default center.
You should still send me the Newt to feel safe...you
know, proper disposal and all... ;-)
