As a fan of Miami Vice, I'd be interested if they ever came up with HD masters of the series.
To my knowledge, there are not.
I believe the DVDs were pressed from the syndication masters, which explains why a few little edits were made in some episodes - most noticeably for me in "Hit List" aka "The Return of Calderone pt 1" where the parachute pants joke got removed.
I'd love to see Blu-rays of Miami Vice, but I don't think we'll see that in the US. I'm happy to have the series, having collected the series sets as they came out. To my mind, you can see the enterprise start to founder as it hits the 2nd season, continue to go downhill through the 3rd and 4th seasons, and then really go off the cliff with that last season. To me, the series properly ends with the 4th season cliffhanger, with the whole final season being a dream of Pam Ewing...
