B2 hands down. This vizio has been plagued with several software issues. B2 is newer, brighter, and has better software and gaming features.
By the way I got this TV from the BB deal, but unfortunately it had a ton of dead pixels so I ended up returning it, so just be on the look for that, search on YouTube for one of those "dead pixel test" videos and inspect the screen carefully, pause the video to check different subpixel colors.
During setup I was able to connect my phone to control settings, and I was disappointed about the brightness. Turns out the TV interface through the remote control has a different setting to control brightness, and that made a substantial difference, so try playing with both a little bit if needed.
Side note, the BB employee wanted to blame me, arguing that I may have caused the damaged, as if they received a commission for rejecting returns... Jerks!

No, it doesn't. You must be looking at the wrong review and not the one for the LG B2.
Peak 2% Window: Vizio 785 / LG 705
Peak 10% Window: Vizio 691 / LG 695
Peak 25% Window: Vizio 523 / LG 459
Peak 50% Window: Vizio 324 / LG 298
Peak 100% Window: Vizio 171 / LG 146
The Vizio also wins 4 of 5 measurements in the sustained brightness test.
Overall, Vizio tops the B2 in 8 of 10 cases.
You really have to believe those of us who own Vizios. The smart cast is terrible. The operating system is terrible. I had to put my pqx on a wifi outlet and time it to hard reset once a day. The latest Vizios and 2018s vizios are not the same quality.

Your numbers are from the HDR brightness test... Only a small percentage of content is in HDR. If you care to look at the SDR brightness test you might see different numbers.
For an OLED, setting it to max brightness, and leaving a static image on the TV for hours on end, like a news channel with the scroller bar at the bottom.
No good oled panel will burn-in doing that anymore and that's been the case for a few years now. There was a test (probably still ongoing) that had a static CNN logo displayed for well over a year straight on a couple different panels. Nearly no, or no burn-in after a solid year. So, don't buy a crap panel and you have nothing to worry about.
There are so many bad reviews on this from people. Tons of quality control issues. A lot of people had this crap out on them in 3 months, if it wasn't just busted right out of the gate. You get what you pay for. If you're going for OLED, don't waste your money on Vizio. Keep saving up and get an LG. Any LG OLED model will be better than any Vizio.

You must be looking at the wrong thing. Burn in can still be a thing, especially in the scenario I mentioned. Here, direct from rtings:
"Long periods of static content have resulted in some permanent burn-in (see the CNN TVs)".
Here is some more:
"Note that we expect burn-in to depend on a few factors:
•The total duration of static content. LG has told us that they expect it to be cumulative, so static content, which is present for 30 minutes twice a day, is equivalent to one hour of static content once per day.
•The brightness of the static content. Our maximum brightness CNN TV has more severe burn-in than our 200 nits brightness CNN TV.
•The colors of the static areas. We found that in our 20/7 Burn-In Test, the red sub-pixel is the fastest to degrade, followed by blue and then green."
Notice they specifically mention the CNN TV multiple times.

SDR content is mastered at 100 nits. It's an almost useless metric when talking about brightness, since even low-end TVs are more than bright enough to show the full dynamic range of an SDR image.
Please don't make such generalized statements like "B2 is brighter than the Vizio" when you obviously have no knowledge of this topic. By your logic, the LG B2 is brighter than the much more expensive LG G2 because it beats it in 6 of 10 cases.
TLDR = HDR brightness is what counts, not SDR brightness.
IOn software, vizio suuuuucks. But in image quality, the vizio OLED I have looks Better than the Sony OLED I have. I got the Sony because the software issues and in 90% of the media I watch, the vizio wins. Vizio has the inky blacks because of the screen it uses. Sony has a slight blue hue to it, which turns black scenes blue during the day.

Rtings rates the TV higher in every brightness category. 7.1 vs 6.7 in HDR brightness. 7.0 vs 6.7 in HDR game brightness. And 7.5 vs 6.6 in SDR brightness. I trust them more than some blowhard on SD who *thinks* he knows what he is talking about. If the only thing that mattered was what brightness level content was mastered at we wouldn't need a TV brighter than 400 nits (since that is what HDR is mastered at.)
I bought this Vizio for $810 from best buy during Black Friday. So far, it's great. I never faced any software issues and tv is heavily used with eArc Onkyo home theater system. This tv uses LG panel and black levels are fantastic.
Too late on the LG B2 deal. The C2 deal won't get approved by the wife. Replacing a 2015 Sony (120hz). Have a FireTV 4K Max and don't need the OS to be any good. From a pure picture perspective would you go for this or wait for a deal. No rush

But your other arguments are valid...
I'm looking at the direct comparison of the two and the LG tops the vizio on brightness in 7 of the 11 measurement windows.

I still wouldn't get the Vizio

I wish I could remove Smartcast entirely and just use it as a 4K monitor 😔
