How do I start out with displays?
Bodmer's TFT_eSPI is a graphics library for drawing to various displays, like the ILI9341, which is supported. It can be used with the Arduino IDE to program a Pico to interface with an ILI9341 using SPI, 8 bit parallel or 16 bit parallel interfaces.

Connecting ESP32 with TFT Display
For example, the electropeak link you posted showed a TFT LCD with the ILI9341 chip, and if you are using the TFT_eSPI library, this file needs to be configured https://github.com/Bodmer/TFT_eSPI/blob/master/User_Setup.h , the default configuration looks correct in this case.

For this TFT Display, can I buy a breakout board online or would I need to make one myself?
I was under the impression that since this display uses a ST7789V, I'd be able to use the TFT_eSPI library which has support for this controller with ESP32 board. Is that a correct assumption on my part?
