Panoramic is a company featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, a parody of Panasonic.
Description
Like Panasonic, Panoramic manufactures general electronics, like televisions and mobile phones. Flat-screen Panoramic plasma televisions and DVD players can be found in both the Middle Park East Safehouse and Playboy X's Penthouse. There are also mentions on the in-game internet of a Panoramic mobile phone and on electronicwritingtablet.com, a Panoramic writing tablet called the HeavyPad is mentioned but it is said to have gone out of production. In GTA Chinatown Wars, the PDA used on the touch-screen is made by Panoramic.
In GTA IV, Panoramic offices can be found in Hatton Gardens, Algonquin; the building is easily recognizable as it has a large blue neon Panoramic logo at the top; there are also two Panoramic retail stores around Rotterdam Hill, Broker. Although no Panoramic stores or businesses appear in GTA San Andreas, it is one of the sponsors of one of the Hotring Racer stock-cars.
