- The TV pn50951-22u has a vibrant and crystal clear picture quality. The TV looks expensive and elegant.
- The speakers are great.
- The remote control is not that easy to handle at the start but with time we will get used to it. But, everything else using this TV is remarkable. Especially at this price. The packaging was excellent also. Recommend watching the video on how to unbox the TV. It was very helpful.

- The DTS Virtual-X Sound that we get in this TV creates an immersive sound from the TV’s speakers and you are going to like it a lot. You won’t need any external speakers.
Display and Graphics:

- This display is 43-inch (we also get a 50-inch variant) which is good enough for a room and depends on the requirement.
- 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.
- In pn50951-22u, the refresh rate is not that good as compared to other TV brands. In this TV, we get a refresh rate of 60Hz only.
- This Pioneer TV has a very good pixel density as compared to other TVs. On this TV, we get 89ppi.

- One other major upgrade here is that we get a Fire TV experience built-in in the Pioneer pn50951-22u TV.
- Pioneer pn50951-22u TV has 3 HDMI ports which are not too small or too many. Though we get 4 HDMI ports in other TVs.
- We see fewer USB ports in this TV which is a drawback of this TV but not a deal breaker. It has only 1 USB port.
- The TV has Airplay functionality which is seen rarely in any other TVs. With Airplay, we can easily connect Apple products to the TV.

You won’t see any issues with the TV for years until and unless you do some magic in it.
Cons:
The only few things we did not like about Pioneer pn50951-22u are:
