where as a conjunction

Are these correct sentences? Are they grammatical?

1 In a city where he does 3 sold out shows I do 5.
2 You say this is a 3d television. I say I don't see where it is 3d.

Thank you

Your sentences are more-or-less OK, but "where" is not a conjunction in either of them. [1] In a city where he does 3 sold - out shows , I do 5. [2] You say this is a 3D television.
