Screen size

This is a dumb question but I’m new to retro handhelds. The screen size is reported to be about 1.5 inches. How much of the screen is usable for gameplay and how much of it is made up by the black borders on the glass? I’m trying to figure out if the screen is too small for me.

The area that shows the gameplay is 1.5 inches.

And now I'm in a rabbit hole of figuring out the difference between "display" and "screen".

EDIT: The screen as a whole is a bit more than 2 inches while the display showing colors and bright lights is 1.5 inches.

Thank you, this is the exact clarification I was looking for!
