If the "display device" is hooked up to a windows pc, it can be calibrated with any spyder. To calibrate a projector you just need to "show" the spyder the picture on a tripod. The spider 4's had this feature, the spyder 5's still had the tripod mount and it was an undocumented feature. The trick still works with the latest spyders.
I know noone wants to hear "just pay double" but the X-rite i1Display (used to be called color monki) is worlds better and wont degrade over time.
So if you just want to true up an ips display (and maybe charge your freinds 10 bucks to true up their displays) get the $100 spyder. If you depend on color for a paycheck/side hustle, or want to use it for more than 2 years, get the x-rite.

That means you either have 3 color sensor, or 4 color sensor.
In the case of color blindness, it's a blanketing term that covers many abnormalities, in MOST cases, what you have is 2 of sensors that have a response curve very close to one another, for example Red-Green. They call it red green, but it impacts all color perception.
Normally , there is a bigger response difference between the sensor, that helps with differentiation, but it is "posited" that red-green colorblindness improves detection of camoflage predators in nature, which is why it is sometimes (not always) for the SPOTTER personel assigned to snipers to be a colorblind person.
I calibrate yearly, and didn't see seen much (if any) change from my 2019 calibration to my 2020 one..

They don't tell you this, and it's why people keep buying new tvs, because it drifts so much, it turns to trash basically.
The gamut is the gamut regardless of bitdepth. You can measure a boat in inches or millimeters, one number has smaller gradation (larger bitdepth), however it's the same length.
There are more shades in between, for smoother gradation in high bitdepth image, but this is not an issue in modern systems, because all images go through Dithering.
Most people will not be able to tell the difference between ANY HIGHER bitdepth vs 6-bit, Regardless if they're color blind.
Bit depth does not impact COLOR perception, it impacts gradation. This impact is minimal and imperceptible to ANYONE in modern software environments due to DITHERING.

Put up the color picker palette, and a person with color vision deficit will not see the same number of colors in the palette as a person with normal vision. I can confirm this from experience.
If you don't know what you're talking about, then please just don't talk. Don't go back and forth between wikipedia and these forums to find things to post.

But you greatly misunderstand BIT DEPTH. and the impact of response curve.
Please re-read my response, and think about what it is you're trying to say first.
It is impossible for you to see the difference in bitdepth , just as it is impossible for a person that's NOT colorblind to see the difference in bitdepth, in the MAJORITY of the situations regarding digital consumption.
Bit depth DOES NOT impact the Gamut.. a 10 bit monitor does not have less colors than an 8 bit monitor. It has fewer digitally addressable colors. HOWEVER, in software viewing systems, that is made unimportant because those gradations are Dithered into.
Your colorblindness responds to the Gamut differently, it does not respond to the BIT DEPTH different.
