PS3, HDTV connection issue

   Hi,
   PS3 display settings - 1080i: Works fine.
   - PS3 display settings - 720p: Sound becomes delayed when playing a game.
   
   You know how with some TVs when you start up a game the screen kinda blanks out and pops back alive really quick? I know that's normal...
   
   ... but,
   
   When the display settings are set to 720p, the sound can become delayed after that. So after starting a game - and I mean any game (disc, PSN, even F@H), the sound goes out of sync, even after quitting and coming back to the XMB. Another odd thing is that the delay duration varies every time. The longest was almost a full second.
   
   Display setting 1080i does not do that.
   
   How I temporarily fix this;
   While playing a game (being out of sync and all), I can change the channel on the TV and come right back to HDMI 1 (video channel I'm playing on) and the sound will be back in sync. So it seems like the delay is caused by the 'video source' change when starting or exiting a game.
   
   Things I know;
   - It's not the cable. I have tried different HDMI cables. Same problem with all.
   - It's not the port on the TV. I tried this with my 360. Stays in sync.
   
   Possible causes?;
   - The PS3 itself? Maybe the 5400RPM 250GB HDD is too slow to keep up? (but then again, I can temporarily fix the issue...).
   
   Remember, this only happens with 720p.
