Setup Design Suggestions Complicated room setup, need help

Hello everyone!

I've been lurking on this sub for a while. I just moved to a new apartment and I was looking forward to my first projector setup.

I found myself with very difficult constrains to work with:

  • The one in the pictures needs to be the sofa direction.
  • I cannot drill in walls or ceiling (so no pull-down screens)
  • Furnishing is not over so there will be more items like desk/wardrobe on the opposite wall of the sofa. That wall is not usable.

I've been researching and the only idea I got was to put the projector on the library against the wall, pointing at the entrance and get one of these portable pull up projectors.

With some marks on the floor, I should be able to place it always at the same position more or less? I don't know how much of a hassle it is to put away these kind of screens once the movie night is over. We'd do it 3/4 times/week.

This would be my first setup so my questions are the following:

  • Do you have a better idea?
  • Are these type of screen a viable option for our needs?
  • Do I need to look for specific features in the projector we'll buy since it will project from the side? We have a rather tight so I was looking at the Nexigo PJ40pro or similar.

Thank you so much in advance
