As far as I know HDMI does have some form of support for 4K, but don't expect eery piece of hardware to be run perfectly with such (if anything, the setup you describe will probably be bottlenecked at 1080p if it doesn't complain about resolution formats).

How do you finetune your HDTV to 1080p?

You will need a source that outputs at 1080p. Most cable boxes/ satellite boxes do not have the ability to output 1080p (Their native resolution being 1080i/720p) Blu-ray players including the PS3, the Xbox360 along with some other streaming video devices are the only way to get a 1080p signal on your TV. Keep in mind that your content will also have to be capable of 1080p. Some video games are capable, all Blu-rays are as well. A DVD in a Blu-ray player will NOT give you 1080p.

How do you get 1080p output on PS3 using a HDMI cable with a game that only supports 720p?

The PS3 will upscale to 1080P if the system is set to upscale. You will not get 1080p you will get 720P upscaled to 1080P. I find that DVDs movies are better on the upscaled format, but they are not of the quality of Blu Ray.
