A FreeSync screen to make 30fps games bearable?

Hey guys,
so glad you’ve opened up an XBOX subgroup. The amount of information available online is not quite satisfying, and the monitor manufacturers aren’t as capable answering Xbox questions as they are supporting PC users. So yay for this!
A few weeks ago I decided to upgrade my Xbox setup to welcome my new one X, and it’s been quite a ride, with countless returns and trial & error.
The crux lies in the fact that Xbox Games nowadays are mostly locked to either 30fps or 60fps.
I began my journey with a Samsung C27HG70, which turned out to have substantial motion blur and double images in 30fps games, which is still „most of them.“ Awesome monitor at 60fps though.
I’ve then early-adopted the AOC Agon 273QCX, and it’s basically the same story - 60fps Xbox One X and PC gaming looks grand, but 30fps Xbox one X games judder like there’s no tomorrow.
The last attempt at blur-free 30fps Xbox gaming was the venerable BenQ DyAc, and while the motion blur was less pronounced after some tweaking, it was still there. Seeing multiple Washington Monuments while panning across the Division 2 Beta just didn’t feel right.
What seems to work in getting 30fps games to look smoother, even if it introduces a handful of ms of lag, are motion interpolation technologies, like LG’s TruMotion. The thing is - I can only find that in TVs, not in Freesync monitors, and I’m kinda stuck on 27”.
So my question to you guys is:
What Freesync screen out there can make 30fps Xbox one X games look a bit smoother, in a package of about 27”? I’m way past insisting on screen technologies, refresh rates or resolution. I just want RDR2, Division 2, Assassins Creed and and GTA to look smoother.
