Is there a reason headphone jacks seem to be unpopular on sets above 37"? Of the ones I'm looking at , only the TC-L42U12 has one, and that's a cheap set for that size. Sony and Samsung just have outputs for going into receivers, which I can see being desirable for HT setups, but it's inconvenient for someone who just wants the ability to watch without disturbing others. I can't imagine the headphone jack adds much to the cost, especially once the set gets above $1000, let alone into serious HT TV range, so why not just include one?
Do I need to resign myself to getting a receiver if I want to use headphones with a ~46" TV?
