Headphones from TV directly?

I am pretty sure I know what I need, but since there are many experienced people on this forum, figured id ask anyways.

I have a samsung 40" HDTV. In the back, there is no headphone jack. BOOOOO. So I cannot easily plugin my headphones in, which I obviously want to do. My only option then is to get some sort of adapter that takes L/R audio into a stereo female plug right? What would that be called? I am trying to search online. Anyone have any recommendations? That will work fine right?

Ya thanks. Thats what I figured id need.

Another question for someone technical. I believe headphones use an amplified signal and the composite outputs are non-amplified, Is the sound going to be, hummm, bad? I guess if I really wanted best headphone sound I need a headphone amp or receiver right?

newer tvs don't have red white rca out.
you need an additional optical to rca adaptor.
it isn't amped, line level out, not for headphones.
cheap reciever/stereo unit with connections for either hdmi return or optical and a headphone socket in the front would work.
