you think 1/4 inch will be not enough?

Maybe, but keep in mind, startboard will expand and cortract (warp) with temp changes

I mounted my 10" screen in 3/8" starboard. If I was going to do it again I'd use black Plexiglass (or Lucite, Acrylite, etc.) You could also use a PVC board such as Koma or Azek available at your local lumber yard. I have a ton of scraps but only up to 1x10

I second the Black Plexiglass or Lexan from J. Freeman in Boston (Dorchester)

Here's of a photo of my install of a heavey E120 and the face of a starboard electronics box up top
