Raspberry Pi 7" Touchscreen Display resolution problem

I just got the Raspberry Pi 7" Touchscreen Display (using it with a Raspberry Pi 3 and the latest Raspbian Jessie) and on the box it says the screen resolution is 800x480. In the System tab of the Raspberry Pi Configuration, it lists the resolution at 720x480.

1) Why is it not going to 800x480 automatically?

2) If I attempt to change the resolution in the System tab, in the dropdown it does not list the 800x480 resolution.

3) Can I actually get the Pi to display 800x480, or is 720x480 it? If I can, how do I change the output to 800x480?

4) if the screen is only 720x480, why does the box say 800x480?

Thanks,

Kind off topic, but it's about screens, so.

I am making a laptop using a raspberry pi zero. I want to use this https://www.adafruit.com/product/1680
tft display from adafruit but the driver(https://www.adafruit.com/product/1590 ) is more expensive than I would like for my budget build. Does anyone have an alternative maybe without touchscreen capabilitie, that would work, and be as cheap as possible. Thanks in advance!
