That's true only for vector graphics. If you zoom in far enough on a
bitmap you can see the individual pixels, just as in Acrobat or Adobe
Reader.

In the olden days, IIRC, Dov Isaacs of Adobe, or Shlomo Perets of
microtype.com, periodically posted a detailed set of steps for use with
Photoshop, to optimize images for use in FrameMaker. Odds are good an
archive search will be successful. HTH.

The on-screen preview will always look "bad" since you are only seeing a
preview. Photos will look OK, but not in the details. Luckily however, that
is only the on-screen preview--for print/PDF output, the actual graphic file
is used.
Depending on the source of the artwork, here are the
FrameMaker can't render AI grphics, it uses the low-resolution preview
bitmap embedded in the file.
If PNG images in FrameMaker look worse than they do in the exported
PDF in Acrobat or Adobe Reader, Acrobat probably does a better job of
rendering bitmaps at some zoom levels.

We use either PNG or AI files, FrameMaker 2017, Windows 10 w/latest updates

What format image and which version of FrameMaker?
If you're displaying EPS, you're not looking at the same image.
FrameMaker's showing a preview bitmap stored in the EPS file and PDF
is rendering the actual vectors.

I'm comparing how an image looks on the same monitor when displayed by
Frame and in PDF produced from Frame. In all cases the image looks better
when displayed in PDF. It doesn't matter what quality the image is; Frame
just seems to display images poorly in comparison.
Rather than "set your desktop resolution to the highest it can
support" I'd say set your display to its native resolution.
I don't believe LCD ClearType / font-smoothing settings have any
effect on what's captured.
To me, the most important tips are (1) selecting or cropping to show

We always use PDF or PNG. If your line drawings are in JPG then expect a loss
of resolution, JPG is a lossy format that exchanges resolution for size. Taster
graphics will always have poorer resolution when they are displayed at a screen
size that isn’t exactly the created resolution or isn’t
using Adobe FrameMaker software.

Line drawings in Frame look much worse than they do when I save them to
PDF. Is this an issue with my graphics card driver, or does Frame just
have a reputation for poor graphic quality? lol
