Nice TV, no good choices for audio,

This review is from: Toshiba 19SLV411U 19-Inch 720p 60 Hz LED HDTV with Built-in DVD Player, Black (Electronics)
I chose the Toshiba because of the tiltable stand and the placement of the dvd slot -- left side, and the general quality of the manufacturer. What I didn't realize when I went for the LED model instead of the LCD, is that this TV has no headphone jack, only an digital optical out. You would need the GefenTV Digital Audio Decoder to connect additional speakers. I don't know why Toshiba took the headphone jack out of this model when no one is ever going to use such a small TV with a sound system receiver. TV manufacturers could also give up on putting the speakers on the back of the TV, since it makes the sound so muffled. It sounds like a cell phone or something equally not quite there.
Beautiful TV, if you could hear it or realistically connect it to anything.

As another reviewer mentioned, this Toshiba LED television does not have a headphone jack. This means that many of our computer speakers or headphones aren't compatible with this model unless you pay for it. Well I paid for it and now have fantastic audio blaring out my TV, but I thought others should know how much it'll cost if they want to do the same thing.
What you'd need to buy:
1. A Toslink Digital Optical Cable ($5-15)
EX.Mediabridge - Toslink Cable - Optical Digital Audio Cable - 6ft
"One of these is needed as the Digital Optical Output has replaced the headphone jack."
2. Gefen Digital to Audio Decoder ($80-95)
