I'm not sure what you mean by that - are these different conditions,
or is this inconsistency in the display readings ?

It might be instrument inaccuracy for that particular display type
(wide gamut displays tend to emphasise any inaccuracy in an instrument,
due to their narrower primaries), or it could observer differences
(ie. your eyes are may have slightly different spectral sensitivities
to the standard observer curves).
Some people have reported a more obvious color difference between
near and far color (ie. small visual angle vs. large visual angle)
on wide gamut displays. This is due to the rod receptors that
dominate the periphery having a different spectral sensitivity
to the cone receptors responsible for color vision, combined
with the narrower primaries of wide gamut displays.

Yes, that's perfectly possible - you can use profcheck with any .ti3
file, not just the one used to create the profile.
