720p is technically HD, but that's the lowest HD standard. 1080p (or 1080i) is the next step up (and then, 4K). If it says 720p, then you already have HD I guess. As of a couple years ago broadcasters used either resolution -- depends on the network first, and then the provider (Comcast). I have Fios, and actually am not sure what they broadcast these days. All I know is, I have a 4K TV, and cable doesn't broadcast that except on perhaps a couple dedicated channels for specific events (and even then, you need their latest box). (As opposed to some streaming options that do broadcast on 4K more often -- for instance, most new Netflix series are in 4K).
For smaller screens, resolution doesn't matter as much. But if you have a big screen TV, you'll want a higher resolution. 4K looks incredible! But it's still a novelty in most cases. But in the end, if it looks good to you, that's what's important. If you have $ to burn, when your TV goes, upgrade....
I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey! lol Whaddaya want me to do? Whack a guy? Off a guy? Whack off a guy? --Peter Griffin My DVDs | Facebook | Godfather Filming Locations

so in other words they don't broadcast in 1080 P yet. 1080p, not so much... that's more reserved for On-Demand and Pay-Per-View. For normal broadcast/cable viewing, it's usually 720p or 1080i (which are also considered HD). Again, I haven't had Comcast in years, so whether you have to pay for it or not, I have no idea. But I did find this wiki link that shows what each network (in the USA) broadcasts in, and other details: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-definition_television_in_the_United_States

My Samsung adjusted automatic to 1080dpi TV resolution isn't measured in dpi (dots per inch) per se. Talking about dpi (or more accurately, ppi -- pixels per inch) is more a reflection of the device you're looking at (how large the pixels are -- they'd be huge on a jumbotron (inches per pixels, for instance) vs your smartphone (400+ ppi).... It's confusing for sure.. The letter p in 720p and 1080p stands for "progressive" and the letter i stands for "interlaced" 1080 itself stands for a screen resolution of 1920x1080 (and 720 means 1280x720). Here's a good explanation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_o5h5SK_70
