Washington, D.C. (November 17, 2009) -- High-Definition TVs may be in more than 40 million homes, but many Americans still would like to get a new one this holiday season.

That's the conclusion of a new study from PriceGrabber.com, which surveyed 4,691 online customers on which gifts they would like to receive this season.

Number one on the list: The category of computers, laptops and netbooks. Money or gift cards was second, but HDTVs finished third, just ahead of jewelry/watches, which was fourth.

The study also found that 54 percent of consumers say they plan to spend less this season -- thanks to the sluggish economy. Forty-two percent said they will spend the same as last year and only five percent said they will spend more.
