What is the difference between the 204BW and the 205BW?

I know the Samsungs are 6bit but are the blacks as good on the Benq? I have a Samsung 712N that is a TN panel and have no complaints(in fact I've loved it-headed to ebay with new purchace). If the Benq has as good of blacks then it looks like a no brainer but I have seen tha Apple version of this panel in CompUSA and it has a kind of grainy look to it, but we all know the stores don't set them up right either. The 22 inch 225BW is also interesting but I wont go more than $350 for it so unless it drops fast I'm favoring the 205BW and the Benq FP202. I have a 100mm vesa arm mount that is a must but I think all 4 of these fit that. In the store the 204bw looked like a 75mm Vesa mount but Samsungs website say 100mm on all 3 and that its optional(wich I think means the mount is optional not the 100mm is optional(like an adapter from 75mm to 100mm), but in the store it sure did not look 100 mm. Anyway I love the 225BW but a 6 bit panel for $390 kinda hurts also I don't like the looks of the new Dells so they are out.
 
Well it looks like the 204BW and the 205BW are both 75mm vesa mounts, why the he** does samsungs website say otherwise. Its down to the 225BW or the Benq FP202. At $259 to my door that Benq looks nice.
