That's hi voltage arcing. Dangerous condition were a component has broken down and is arcing causing the power supply to 'crowbar' or go into over current protection mode. Call a TV repair pro for an estimate to see if you want to keep the set.
The beeping sound is most likely the high voltage generator needing replacement. This is a fairly easy job if you have some tech support to discharge the picture tube. You can go to the following link and leave them an email with your model number and your symptom and they will email you back with the part you need and they provide free tech support with instant messageing so you can do the repair yourself. the HV generator takes about a half hr to replace and takes only the basic soldering ability. heres the link. http://servicemanuals.vstore.ca/
It can be repaired. It sounds like a bad high voltage transformer or something in that circuit. I would take it to a TV shop and ask for an estimate. It might be costly to repair.
