For softproofing can be used every display, that have gamut larger than
particular printing process. Coated paper have bigger gamut in cyans than
typical sRGB display while most wide gamut monitors cover coated paper
gamut.

Which criteria make Dell, HP and NEC widegamut displays not suitable for
softproofing??
