id see "jaggies" in the weirdest of places in warcraft classic when it was just freesync with an LG cheapo ultrawide 1080p monitor so i upgraded to an Asus without sync just for the colors but even now after using so long im starting to even notice jaggies on the Asus monitor, it also does not look clear enough with sharpness setting.... it looks beautiful going through different zones in-game with sharpness on high but on low it looks pretty bad.........

Has freesync premium pro gotten better?
in terms of refresh sync being on par

monitors with specs im considering getting
samsung G80SD or LG 32GS95UV-W.AUS
4k 32" 0.3ms with hdr 240hz (im looking for better than ips)
is this monitor even anything close to a retina type of apple display??

Every monitor on planet earth is subject to screen tearing, because you will get jagged edges when the refresh rate of the display does not match the speed at which your content is refreshing (gaming at 120FPS on a 60Hz monitor for example). Both the monitors you sent are 4K resolution, which is well beyond what your hardware can handle. You should be on the lookout for a monitor that has high refresh rate and lower resolution than 4K so your video card can drive it with reasonable frame rates. A high refresh rate 1440p display is your best bet.

As far as "better than IPS," that really comes down to how you plan to use the monitor. All of Apple's displays (which have terrible pixel response times) are IPS, with the obvious exception of their iPhones and latest iPad Pro models. If you mainly play video games, then an OLED monitor would be your best choice, provided you have the budget for it. Take a look at this MSI MPG 271QRX. It has an extremely high refresh rate for smoothness, an OLED panel for fast response times and perfect blacks, and fairly accurate colors. 360Hz is well beyond what your current PC can produce in any modern game, but when you inevitably upgrade, you won't have to toss out your monitor.

If you want a more modest display without worrying about OLED burn in, or you do more on your PC than gaming, the ASUS ROG PG279QM is a good option for around 500 dollars.
