There are two size screens 16:9 or 2.4:1. With a 16:9 screen you will have black bars on the top and bottom with movies that are 2.35:1. With a 2.4 screen you will have black bars on the sides with 16:9 material. Remember that TV is 16:9 as are many movies. As Don said, you can use masking. Also remember, I do not think the Panasonic accepts an anamorphic lens anyways so you will need a 16:9 screen.

If you have a 16:9 screen you will get the black bars top and bottom of the image when viewing 2.35:1 material. It all depends on your wall space. If you are limited horizontally, 16:9 is the way to go. If you are limited vertically, and you have a projector that can do 2.35:1 than that is the way to go for the largest pictures (you will have side bars on 16:9).

Of course you can go with a screen that has side panels (or bottom ones) that open and close as needed if you want to pay the $$.

I have 2 16:9 screens since in both cases I was limited horizontally.

I saw a demo of Black Diamond screen on you tube and it looked awesome. Is there a screen out there that absorbs light like the Black Diamond without absorbing my wallet?

I posted this in the other thread. If you have the $ this one looks really good. Are there any screens out there that are not as light reflective than others at a lower price?
