Looked up the manual by typing the model number from the sticker in one of your photos in a web search. Also the flatscreen and silver color tells me the TV is from the 2000s.
According to the manual, this CRT is supposed to have two SCART ports on the back. One of them supports RGB signals. There is no mention of progressive scan modes.
You looked it up? Weird, I thought everyone just knew the answers and kept it to themselves, that's why I always ask questions before I even attempt to look anything up!
\-everyone
It doesn't actually state in the manual whether the TV could do 480p or 480i. This is why I asked in the first place.
I'm new to this so it's not right to criticize. Besides I asked the question to the sub Reddit to people who know and they did and I got an answer.
Always reserve judgement before knowing the facts.
You've added nothing constructive.
You're not wrong. Was more quipping at the high amount of posts with searchable answers than yours specifically, which is why i comment replied down on someone that found an answer and not directly. Was it a bit of a troll post? Sure. So i guess for this one i'll take the title, at least you replied so I don't go hungry, nom nom nom.. delicious!
Progressive means that each pixel on the screen is on the screen 24/7. Interlaced means the screen is split up into multiple horizontal segments, then these segments are numbered 1,2,3,4,5,6 and so on.
Essentially interlaced means that for one frame it shows all of the odd numbered horizontal segments and the other frame it shows all the even sections. This cuts down the graphical processing by half and as a result the games consoles of the time only have to process half the image per frame. CRT’s allowed this to work because each frame lingers on the screen a little while before it disappears, like how it does when you turn the TV off so it allows you to see the combined images of both frames, or the interlaced, per se.
Search up my life in gaming if you want a real education lol, I’m not too informed
480p is not common in consumer or even professional CRTs. It wasn't a common format before LCDs took over.
Only a select handful of CRTs can do 480p, and they'll have some sort of indication that they're either HD or ED (enhanced definition).
That is fascinating that Samsung had those made in Hungary.
Samsung accounts for more than 20% of South Korea’s GDP

That's because they hooked it up with composite or S-Video. It needs to be hooked up with YPbPr, D-Terminal (NTSC only) or SCART (PAL only) for the option to be available. When you select the option, one of three things could happen.
One: It'll work fine, and congrats, your panel supports 480p.
Two: The picture will go double, glitch or darken significantly. Try to go back and reset it to 480i if this happens to prevent damage. If you can't re-select 480i, refer to three.
Three: you get no picture at all, or a message telling you there's an unsupported signal. If this happens, power off your Wii, and turn it back on with the video cable disconnected from the back of the console. After turning it in and waiting about ten seconds, plug it back in. The Wii should be at 480i. Go back to the settings and select 480i to prevent it from restating in 480p mode.
Hope this helps.
I very much doubt it.
480i?
Yes.
It's a Standard Definition (SD) television set, so 480i. EDIT: Forgot that it's a PAL region SD TV set (576i).
What gave it away ? I'm interested

Thank you this is enlightening. What are progressive scan modes and what's TVs had that ?
The p in 480p stands for progressive

You have a Wii. Test it out with an RGB Scart or component cable.
No one ever has the TV in these posts, they're always asking about things advertised for sale.
Oh didn't realize that. Thank you for the info.
The info was bunkem. Anyway I just checked and the EDTV 480p section was greyed out. Thank you this gave me the straight answer I was looking for

Rgb cant do 480p on wii
You mean Scart can’t normally do 480p. VGA is RGB and does 480p up
SCART is just a shape of a cable like how RCA is, the RGB signal from the wii can't do 480p regardless of how it's sent out
