Panoramic is a company featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto IV, a parody of Panasonic. Like Panasonic, Panoramic manufactures general electronics, like televisions and mobile phones. There is a Panoramic plasma TV 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. The Panoramic headquarters are located in Algonquin; the building is easily recognisable as it has a large blue neon Panoramic logo at the top. In Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars the PDA used on the touch-screen is made by Panoramic. In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, no Panoramic stores or businesses appear in the game, but it's one of the sponsors of one of the Hotring Racer stock-cars.

Trivia

Some fans rumor that the company's Algonquin headquarters in GTA IV are a reference to the two World Trade Center towers in New York City, which were destroyed during the attacks on September 11th, 2001.
