Yes, modern high-density connectors really do leave a lot to be desired as far as contact surface area, play, durability etc. I certainly wouldn't dispute that.
HDMI, apart from being digitally encoded, is also encrypted for their stupid DRM requirements. My point is that if there were issues with contact intermittance, the symptoms would be severe - complete picture or audio dropout, or at least obvious blocking of the video and garbling of the audio. In reality, when you lose a portion of an encrypted data stream, the whole thing tends to go south.
I really hate HDMI personally. I find that the encryption aspect is really limiting (no distribution amps here, fellas) the cables ungodly expensive, and they can't be run at significant length. IMHO, use HDSDI and separate audio path for best results - if you can handle the cost, HDSDI ain't cheap.
If you really want to know for certain that your modification improved video quality, you'd need to use a colormonkey or some other display calibrating device. Such a device will tell you for certain if anything about your picture quality has changed if you do a before/after comparison.
