A Panoram was the trademark name of a video jukebox that had limited popularity within the United States during the 1930s. It consisted of a combination of a classical jukebox playing Gramophone records and a synchronized rear projection screen playing a 16mm film reel.

The Panoram was priced more than $10,000 in 2006 dollars. It never reached widespread adoption and was generally only seen at upscale dancing establishments where they ran as loss leaders and as a curiosity. With the beginning of World War II luxuries like these became less important and the device never recovered after the war mostly due to competition from Television.
