Take a look at the xgimi mogo 4. It's just slightly out of your price range if you're not buying it used or on sale, but I can absolutely recommend it. Great performance and super easy to throw in a backpack. I have the laser version and use it pretty much every day.
I have the XGIMI Mogo 3 (couldn’t find a big difference to the 4, but that whine can turn 360 which would be nice) and it’s good enough. not comparable to a TV of course but I don’t see pixels and for casual watching it was very alright.
I’ve been using the MoGo 2 for a while, and it’s been great for indoor movie nights. The MoGo 4 is a solid upgrade with a brighter image, built-in battery, and a 360° stand make it more versatile for different setups. If you’re looking for something portable that works well in various settings, the XGIMi Mogo series (Mogo 4 if you have the budget) is definitely worth considering
I have a MoGo 4 my own. No worries, most of the time, especially night, I dont need to use the max brightness, cuase it's already bright enough. BTW, I didn't heard about high fan noise during I use it, unless I place it very close to my ears.

Great picture/gaming, but RBE and no lens shift are dealbreakers.
