Default Me looking for the best graphics card me can get for under £200 for photos

Now then, me looking for a graphics card thats the best one under £200 for just plainly viewing photos and watching videos. I dont play any games what so ever. I just mainly want awesome graphics to view my pictures from me digital slr camera on screen. Me currently got an NVidia Ge Force 7200 which I have to say isn't bad at all really, but I know me images can look even sharper, crsiper and more 3 dimensional. I've got Packard Bell IMedia 2416 Intel Core 2 Quad 2.33ghz running Windows Vista Premium and have 4gb of ram, just in case you need any specs.I'm going straight out my NVidia Ge Force 7200 I have at the moment via a dvi-hdmi connector, straight to my Samsung LE32A556 32" lcd tv.

What graphics card do you guys suggest?

nVidia GeForce 8500GT is a pretty decent card

The picture sharpness also depends on your monitor. If you are using an SRT monitor, you will definitely get a fuzzier image than with an LCD monitor.

I would say it would be a huge waste of money, your GFX card is fine for 2D, looking at photos and an upgrade really isn't going to make any difference.

Images will not look better with a different graphics card.

Viewing still images up close on a TV will look poor due to its low resolution and large pixel size.
