Can you tell if it does it more with higher humidity levels in the air, or not?

The hissing noise is coming from the main chassis board and only occurs in the beginning, when powering up, and then it stays with no noise at all for many hours, days, weeks, as long as it is not turned off. When hissing noise occurs, it did NOT affect the picture quality at all, although I do see a horizontal line cut off a little from the top or bottom.

So let's take care of that hiss and get another 20 years out of that 121!

That's good to hear.
Is the blue splotch supposed to be there, because I don't see a blue splotch at all, but only red and green.
