Without knowing more information I'd still feel fairly confident that in fact you could.

Your monitor will likely be the same resolution (or better possibly) than the laptop so you'd retain the same quality either way :)

You need to have an output port for dvi or hdmi on your laptop, wire goes from that to your monitor and hey presto! You can also set your laptop to not shutdown or anything when you close the lid and then use an external kb and mouse as if it is a desktop computer.

Could I hook up a gaming laptop to a monitor and still keep the same quality?

Thanks

Depends how much higher a resolution you'll be using on the monitor. If at all; I assume all new gaming laptops ship with a hi-res screen. I tried it with my old laptop and Diablo 3 struggled at 1080p on a monitor.
