Find the range of the quadratic function.
\[
y=2 x^{2}-16 x+33
\]
Write your answer as an inequality using $x$ or $y$ as appropriate. Or, you may instead click on "Empty set" or "All reals" as the answer.

Step 1 ：The range of a quadratic function is determined by its vertex and whether it opens upwards or downwards.

Step 2 ：Since the coefficient of \(x^2\) is positive, the parabola opens upwards.

Step 3 ：This means the vertex of the parabola is its minimum point.

Step 4 ：The x-coordinate of the vertex of a parabola given by \(y=ax^2+bx+c\) is \(-\frac{b}{2a}\).

Step 5 ：We can substitute this into the equation to find the y-coordinate of the vertex, which will be the minimum value of the function.

Step 6 ：The range of the function will then be all values greater than or equal to this minimum value.

Step 7 ：The range of the function is \(y \geq \boxed{1}\).
