Not OP but I'm using this fantastic 7 inch screen that accepts regular USB power for $60
Allows me to use a single power bank (with 2 USB ports) to power both the Pi and screen for hours.

So that was just a little project/hobby I was working on.
-I used a small 7 inch screen which I already owned. Only a resolution of 1024 x 600. But I wasn't going to buy a mini monitor with 720p native res just for this. It's this one.
-A multi-angle stand which I had previously bought for my Nintendo Switch. Link
-A cheapie 10000mAh powerbank with dual output charge for 5V, 2A (for the screen) and 5V, 1A (for the PS Classic).
-Velcro adhesive to easily attach and remove the screen, the PS Classic and the powerbank from the stand. The powerbank is attached at the back.
-Short (25cm) HDMI cable.
-Short (15cm) USB male to male cable for powering the monitor.
-Short (20cm) micro USB to USB power cable for the PS Classic. Previously this cable was used for my Chromecast device. But it works fine here.
An OTG adapter to plug into the power port of the PSC. And a 128GB USB drive plugged into the OTG adapter.
The PSC is running the latest AutoBleem build with a custom theme. I've upgraded the custom kernel to take advantage of OTG support. FYI, what "OTG" means here is that you can plug your OTG adapter into the rear of the console and connect your usb drive directly to the OTG adapter, thus freeing up the front controller ports and bypassing the power issues of the console.
I've looked into the same deal for my SNES Classic and a small portable LCD monitor was the most cost effective option. They make these little 7" LCD monitors w/ HDMI and built-in speakers for security camera type usage that remind me of the portable LCD for the PSone. They usually sell for around $50-60.

I assume something like this would work. Also check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtU2ca24fUk

EDIT: although, a vita w/ retroarch would probably be best.

Sure thing, glad to help.
Did a little more searching. So far, this is the screen I would use if I was trying to do what you were doing.
I was actually looking for 'portable battery-powered mini tv' and that came up. All the other things I found had a battery included, which was great, but then they didn't have an hdmi connection, so that didn't work. If you can find a mini tv type of thing with a built in battery, and hdmi connection, that would really be your best bet.
Another solution:

7 inch wide x 4.6 inch long
0.3 frame (0.8 inch real depth)
The good thing about the above one is that button are on the front and it seems they solve the problem of the cables by adding more depth and making the whole case larger.
The major problem is that is LED and not IPS.
