I have a HP Pavilion 15-n211sv which has Intel Core i7-4500U with Intel HD Graphics 4400 and a NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M 2GB. My question is, while both the CPU and the GPU supports 1080p the laptop monitor is 720p but I need the extra resolution, so if I buy a Full HD monitor is it possible to display on the laptop's sceeen 720p and on the monitor 1080 on ubuntu through HDMI?

Yes, it is.
If you use the external monitor only (disabling the internal) it should automatically adjust for 1080P; if using both you may need to explicitly set the different resolutions and options.
