IINA is a good player.
You can even play videos from YouTube (via youtube-dl)
But how to choose videos quality?
By default youtube-dl uses best possible quality. If video is 4K – you'll get 4K. Sometimes it is overkill for notebooks.

Change the resolution of the video you're watching by clicking the gear icon and selecting a setting. Choose from 1080p, 720p, 480p, 360p, 240p and 144p. You cannot choose a high-definition setting if the video you are watching was uploaded in standard definition.
You can configure youtube-dl inside of IINA.
To set up max qulity of youtube videos:
Go to Settings / Network / Youtube-dl
Write in Raw options section
format="bestvideo[height<=?1440]+bestaudio/best[height<=?1440]"
Where 1440 is maximum height that you want (it equals to 1440p).
This parameter tells player:
bestvideo[height<=?1440] — to pick best video up to width=1440px
+bestaudio — mix it with best audio available in source.
/best[height<=?1440] — if something goes wrong - take just best video&audio pair (under 1440px of height)
Restart IINA
