TVPredictions: Nearly 20 percent of Americans are planning to buy a flat-screen HDTV as a gift this holiday season.
That’s according to a poll released today by Consumer Reports magazine.
The poll found that 54 percent of the likely flat-screen buyers will purchase LCD HDTVs while 29 percent said they would purchase Plasma sets.
Another 16 percent of likely buyers of flat-screen sets said they did not know what type they would purchase.
Consumer Reports says 47 percent are planning to buy a set 42 inches or larger while 15 percent will get one more than 50 inches in size.
Among married couples, men said they will buy a high-def set for a “better picture” while women said it will add style and floor space to the room.
The biggest reason why consumers want a flat-screen set this holiday season? Price.
