Graphic card for Watching Movies

What monitor are you using and are you gaming on the PC? The introduction of a graphics card will make no difference to the quality of the picture. This will be defined by the monitor/TV you are using and the quality of the DVD/download.
 
Budget and depends what source your video is? 144p will look bad, 4k will look good but will need a better video card (and other compondents like CPU) to play

A video card does not improve all over pc performance. Its for graphics!
 
PC config
Dual core 2.8Ghz
2GB ram
720p Moniter
current card Nvidia gs 8600 1gb or something like that
hdmi connection
actually im facing problem while i watch night scene movies like hary poter in night scene its like black background and pixelating in simple words night scene in any movie is not clear so i was thinking it may be graphic card problem
mainly i plays 1080,720 bluray movies
 
Sounds like it's just struggling to play the movie and match the intended framerate. What HDD are you steaming it from?
 
Is the movie from a DVD / streaming website ? It might be a problem with the source.
Getting a new graphics card will only improve the PC's ability to play back the movie. If your current graphics card does not play well with the format your movies are in, then a new GPU will help.

Before you splash the cash, try to use a different media player, such as the latest VLC, Windows Media Player (with various codec packages) or PowerDVD.
 
Do dark colours look ok outside of films, e.g night time photos? I've seen some cheap monitors that really struggled with anything in the 0-20 brightness region, so really dark gradients just looked like a straight split of black and dark grey. That would probably produce a blocky look to the dark background sections of the video, while leaving the brighter foreground looking ok.
 
Fair enough, not likely the monitor then. Was worth checking :)

*edit* lol, timing... I took the OP's "yeah" to mean that dark colours are ok on non-videos, which I assume would mean the screen itself is fine?

You will improve all round system performance by putting some more RAM in there, 2gb these days is pretty low. Upping it to at least 4gb will help. The more the better.
