HD televisions are capable to displaying several HD formats. The most common are 1080i, 1080p and 720p. All HD signals will be in one of those three formats and the television will automatically accept and display any of the formats.
The on screen report that the display is running at 720p is simply an indication that the incoming signal is in that format. Change the incoming signal to 1080 and the status will change to show 1080.
Note that 1080i and 720p are both true HD formats and broadcasters are free to use either format. 720p is less used but it may be found on sports channels as it handles high speed movement a little better than 1080i.
