The results are great!  Thanks for all the hard work to make it happen.

So I'm happy with the layout of the HDMI!

I checked for vias in component pads (manufacturability issue) and
since the gerber viewer I'm using complains about all the tools in the
drill file when I load it, I can't see the via holes.  So there may be
several false alarms in this list.  Could even be mostly false alarms.
But I would definitely check out C3 on layer 1 as there seems to be a
via in the middle of one of the pads.  (Marked with red arrow in
attached picture.)
