If it's displaying 1080p then you have a 1080p monitor not 720p.

It might be able to handle 1080p inputs and downscale to 768p.
I had an LG like that, would show up as 1080p but was really just taking it and downscaling, it looked better at 1360 x 768

If it's 720p it will only have 720 vertical lines.
This means 1080i is supported. 1080i is every other vertical line.
This does not mean it's 1080p (progressive).
As mentioned above, your TV is most likely downscaling the signal.

About a month ago i bought a samsung lcd tv that can do 720p. Now I thought it would only beable to handle the 1360x768 however for some reason it says my native resolution is 1920x1080. now i would love to game at that but will this kill my tv?
Use 1360x768. That is the native resolution and the games will look best at that. Your TV will acept a 1920x1080 signal, but the TV will scale it down to 1360x768 degrading the picture quality and increasing the lag.
Your PC probably thinks the native res is 1920x1080 because that is the reported maximum and most of the time the reported maximum is the native resolution.
