Projector suggestions?

I work with oil and acrylic and am interested in getting a projector for digital image transfer, etc. A bit of Internet research and I thought it would cost around $100-200. chatGPT thinks my requirements seem more like I want to spend over $1000. Anybody have projector knowledge?

I work in a relatively small space and am hoping I can work the way I normally work while the projector is in use so it would have to be out of my way. My canvases are up to 84 x 57 cm (33 x 22.5 inches). The projector would be on a tripod approx 1.5 meters back (5 feet) and 20-30 degrees off perpendicular.

I'd hope not to need to work in a dark room (although can be like stormy / cloudy day), not to connect anything by wire (so wi-fi, usb, rechargeable battery). Looks like I need 2D keystone and 4 corner adjustment. (I also do landscape panoramas in which images are stretched.)

If this is definitely going to be in the very high price range, I'll probably need to adjust the way I work, accept a more difficult way to do the transfers, or just not use a projector.
 
I have the AAXA P7 and highly recommend it.
it easily meets all your requirements. For your canvas size the projector would have to be back 3 feet. Runs on built-in battery or wall.
I leave the studio lights on and turn off the ones aimed at the canvas

It's 4"x4"x 2". Has a remote. Can use an SD card, or wifi, usb, bluetooth, zoom, keystone, mirror, color temperature, front or rear projection 1920x1080 p resolution. 1.2 to 1 throw ratio. Focuses down to 16". 600 lumens.

What I do to conserve space is mount it on a pedestal type microphone stand - the base only takes up 10"x10" floor space - easy to move -no tripod legs to trip over.

Whatever you get make sure it is short throw, high lumen and high resolution,.,
