#1 Can I screen mirror my iPhone?
The Fire TV Edition television does not support screen mirroring. You can connect a streaming device (Chromecast) or adapter ( Microsoft - Wireless Display Adapter) using HDMI.

#2 If a movie on the TV is playing in 4:3 how can I stretch it to fill the entire screen?
If the signal is from an Antenna, you could try to change the aspect ratio, long press the home button for 3 seconds to launch the Quick Access menu, select Display settings to adjust the Picture Size and Aspect Ratio. If the movie is from an app, the Picture Size and Aspect ratio options will not be available because the app is already sending a full screen picture.

#3 Is this model compatible with Xfinity? Is there a list somewhere that gives you all the Fire TV channel choices?
Unfortunately, the Xfinity app is not available for the Fire TV Edition experience. You can connect an external streaming device at any time. To see available apps, please visit amazon.com, go Menu - Shop By Category > Fire TV > Fire TV Apps & Channels > Refine by Device Type select Fire TV Edition TV and search.

#4 What wall mount is best for this TV ?
You could try the model RF-HTLF23.
