Well this has been on my to-do list for quite some time, and this week I took a stab and built some! The hardest part was finding material suitable, at a reasonable price. In the end I settled for polystyrene, cut-to-size (20mm thick). So materials used/required:-
4 lengths of polystyrene (20mm thick)
PVA Glue
Scissors
Cutting Board
Ruler/Tape Measure
The pictures pretty much sum up how easy it was. I have two spare panels which I will build over the next couple of weeks. For now here’s some screens:-
I’ll post some actual comparison screenshots over the next day or so.

Hey mate,
I like your masking panels. great idea. I have a similar setup and was wondering how you remove the panels for 16:9 or are they permanent etc? i.e. do you onle watch a lot of bluray etc?
Cheers

Hi,
I made them a few mm longer than the space they are fitting into, and they rely on gravity for them to stay there! As the material is incredibly light, it doesnt cause the panel to sag, and obvioulsy they pop out easy when watching a 1.78:1 or 1:85:1 movie!
