JMGO N3 Ultimate for projector.
The JMGO N3 Ultimate is the model I would generally recommend with your very specific placement requirements. It isn't super expensive, and it has a ton of zoom range and lens shift to make setup easier. It's the RIGHT solution to your needs.
XGimi Titan Noir Max/Pro, JVC DLA-NZ500, Valerion VisionMaster Max/Pro, JMGO N3 Ultimate, XGimi Horizon 20 Pro/regular. From top to bottom under $5K or so, those are the models in order that I would get and recommend.
That JMGO N3 Ultimate looks amazing, finding stock in Australia is a bust tho.
JMGO N3 Ultimate may be in budget... certainly going to look better than the Epson models. ... The XGimi and JMGO both have significant lens shift which makes setup significantly easier overall.

AI summary — not a quote
The BenQ W1070 is widely regarded as a legendary "workhorse" in the projector community, praised for its exceptional longevity and image quality that remains competitive with modern budget 1080p units. Despite being a decade-old model, it is frequently recommended as a superior used purchase compared to new, low-cost projectors due to its reliability and sharp picture.
Pros
- Exceptional durability with many users reporting over 10 years of consistent use
- Sharp 1080p image quality that users claim outperforms many modern budget alternatives
- Low input latency (sub-30ms), making it a viable option for gaming
- Strong contrast levels and support for 3D frame packing
Cons
- DMD chip failure (appearing as white or black dots) is a known issue after very high mileage
- Limited to 1080p resolution, which may feel dated for those specifically seeking 4K
- Requires periodic bulb replacements to maintain brightness over its long lifespan

A used Optoma/BenQ/Epson shits on any new 1080p projector at this price range and it's not even close. ) vs vs BenQ W1070 (less than $200)
It replaced my W1070 and since I couldn't run wires in the ceiling, this was a good choice. It is super quiet and I hope it lasts near as long as the W1070.
A 50” Panasonic plasma and a BenQ W1070 projector with a 96” pull-down screen directly in front of the TV. Works out well.
For that budget I would get a Benq W1070 from ebay. Make sure it has a new bulb and is in good condition. ... they're wayy better than any amazon crap
