In theory at least it would have to work on both. An arcade monitor and a Tv are extremely similar in terms of output. Also although m$ decided not to "support" it at the last minute, xbox has vga pinouts, they simply don't have a connector available. So if this gun's development started early on in the xbox dev scheme then it should ahve at least partial support for computer monitors.
: I can't remember if anyone mentioned this controller before, but the "Light Blaster" will be coming out in February 2002 for the xbox.

: Also, here is a page that no longer works, but that Google cached that documents the pinouts for the USB backed controller connectors.

: Looks like you could get it working with the PC sans the forcefeedback pretty easily. The real test of course would be if it works with PC Monitor/Arcade Monitor.
