• Pioneer pn50951-22u supports 4K UHD (Ultra High Definition).
• Screen mirroring is also supported in this TV.
• The next point is the Refresh rate. Higher refresh rates mean that a TV can display more frames per second (fps) which makes the video smoother and more pleasing.

• One other major upgrade here is that we get a Fire TV experience built-in in the Pioneer pn50951-22u TV.
