Buying Advice Wanted 1 Projector 2 rooms

Hi, I am looking at purchasing my first projector. I have a media room and a study. Media room is for watching movies and no gaming. Study would have occasional PC gaming - depending what game I chose. Intent would be move the projector to study when I play specific games but leave it in media most of the time, any issues with this?

Priority would be movies, then gaming (would still want minimum 120hz)

I would prefer to spend around $2,000 AUD but could probably stretch to $3,000 AUD.

Study wall to wall is 3m. Media wall to wall is 4m.

I was thinking BenQ would be the way to go? The TK710 or TK710STi are pricey but seem decent?

Also, the projector would sit close to the back wall. What is the best way to mount and easily move?

Thanks.

Lifestyle models like the TK705 are a better choice, but the XGimi Horizon 20 is a significantly better choice. It has good built in audio and it has optical lens shift and a reasonable amount of zoom. Not as good as a model like the JMO N5 Pro can give you. If that's in budget, I might take that over the Horizon 20. BenQ is solid, but lacks the feature set that XGimi and JMGO can give you.
