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 XGIMI Horizon 20 is widely considered a high-value tri-laser projector, frequently praised for its exceptional brightness, sharpness, and the inclusion of premium hardware features like optical zoom and lens shift at a competitive price point. While it is a strong contender for gaming and bright-room use, users have reported significant issues with its DynamicBlack implementation and mixed results regarding color accuracy out of the box.
Pros
- High brightness levels suitable for rooms that aren't fully darkened
- Excellent image sharpness and effective AI-driven upscaling (AISR)
- Includes optical zoom and lens shift, which are rare at this price point for DLP projectors
- Strong gaming features including low latency, 120Hz support at 1080p, and VRR
Cons
- DynamicBlack (EBL) feature is described as unusable or poorly implemented
- Reports of inconsistent color accuracy, specifically pushing blue or red tones
- Susceptible to tri-laser artifacts such as speckle, metamerism, and rainbow effect (RBE)
- Customer service is limited to email, which can be frustrating for defective units

it's worth mentioning that the horizon 20 series is a terrible value in Canada (for some reason). The base horizon 20 is 3200 in cad. Max is 4500.
First place I looked as that Hook Up review we all saw, where the XGIMI Horizon 20 outperforms everything in sight
Don't get portable one if you don't need it. The horizon 20 will easily be 2x brighter.
Yeah know someone who got the chinese version of xgimi horizon 20 for $780 usd during 11.11 sale. Not sure with ddp but even with charges it's a steal haha
Horizon 20 $1.2k will be a better buy imo
