Hi, I just bought the new 2019 MacBook Pro 13-inch 512GB. I noticed something rather weird (or annoying me), whenever I'm watching videos with dark scenes, the video quality becomes poor (becomes blocky and pixelated like the ones in the images below).
Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this? What should I do?

I am having the same problem. I bought a new MacBook Pro about a month ago to replace my old one (from 2015), and I am also having issues with pixelated dark scenes. This never happened to me on my old laptop, nor does it on my iPad. To be perfectly honest I am rather annoyed about this, and the link in this answer is completely unhelpful.
Switching off night shift seemed to work. Looks fine now.
Ah, yes, so much better! Thanks so much for the advice!
I cant find Apple RGB in display profile. There's Adobe RGB and sRGB
Thank you! Your cursor 'voodoo' is the only thing that worked.
Great to hear! I found I had to redo the setting every now again to keep it working but I’m glad it’s helped.
was having the same issue (blocky dark video playback on my 2018 MacBook Pro) but switching from Chrome to Safari totally fixed this- thanks!
safari works much better. Saw this exact problem watching Netflix in Chrome occur even after changing display settings and nothing seemed to work. Once I switched to Safari it looked amazingly better
