Hi, I'm in the market for a new TV but I specifically want audio from wired headphones. I don't want latency issues such as lag from Bluetooth or wireless headphones.
Problem is, 3.5 mm headphone jacks are hard to find on a TV these days. (I see the LG C2 42 inch does have, but it is out of my price range. I am looking at spending about US $300 -US $500, maybe more.)
I have seen some Hisense and TCL TVs do have 3.5 mm headphone jacks, but I'm looking at Samsung, LG or Sony as a preference.
My question is can a digital audio out or optic out (I may have misnamed this?) as featured on most Samsungs, LGs and Sony TVs be converted into a 3.5 mm headphone jack for wired headphone use, with reasonably good sound quality and not line-level output? I want to be able to adjust the volume on the TV when using my headphones, so there must be some amplification. Can it be done?
Thank you, I appreciate the advice.
