+'''Panoramic''' is a company featured in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]], a parody of [[:wp:Panasonic|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.
+== Products ==
+;3D Universe:
+* Unknown Electronic Products (GTA SA)
+;HD Universe:
+* Unnamed TV (GTA IV)
+* Heavy Pad tablet (GTA IV)
+* Unnamed mobile phone (GTA IV)
+* Pano360 mobile phone (GTA IV)
+* Unnamed DVD Player (GTA IV)
+* Unnamed PDA (GTA CW)
+* 8½ Band Radio (GTA V)
+== Trivia ==
+* There are [[wp:SCART|SCART connectors]] on the rear of Panoramic's flatscreen TV and DVD player as well as [[wp:RCA connector|RCA connectors]]. SCART is a common audio/visual standard in Europe whereas RCA connections are favored in North America.
+* The DVD player appears to be [[wp:DVD region code|coded]] for Region 2, which is correct for Western Europe but wrong for North America (where [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]] is located), which is designated as Region 1. Also, despite using fictional companies in the GTA universe, the logos of two real-world companies appear on the rear of the Panoramic DVD player: [[wp:Kodak|Kodak]] and [[wp:Microsoft|Microsoft]], with the latter represented by the [[wp:Microsoft Windows|Windows]] logo.
